Chesterton Humberts has appointed Ruth Wilkinson, a highly respected and experienced local agent, as its new area director covering Wiltshire and Gloucestershire.

Having lived and worked in the area for nearly 20 years, Ruth is one of the area’s most experienced and successful agents and will now oversee the company’s Chippenham, Marlborough, Tetbury, Chew Magna and Cirencester branches.

Ruth specialises in residential sales but has experience in all areas of residential property including country houses and international sales. Her new role at Chesterton Humberts will see her working closely with the company’s network of 70 national and international branches to grow the brand in Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, and enhance the good reputation of Chesterton Humberts in the area.

Commenting on her appointment, Ruth said, “Having worked locally for nearly 20 years, I have always regarded Chesterton Humberts as one of the strongest agencies and am delighted to have now joined the team and be in a position where I can use my knowledge of the area to best serve our clients and deliver an exceptional service.

“With an established network of 70 offices, including 24 in London and 15 internationally, we are in an ideal position to take our clients’ properties to a much wider audience than many of our competitors can offer. We are already taking on some very exciting instructions as vendors realise the importance of penetrating the wider market and I hope to see many more over the next couple of months as people look to complete their property transactions before Christmas and the New Year.”

Ruth will be based at Chesterton Humberts’ Chippenham Branch and can be contacted on 01249 444557 or by emailing ruth.wilkinson@chestertonhumberts.com
