Romans promotes long-serving director

Estate agency Romans has promoted Jonathan Hawthorne to sales director, marking his 25th year with the business.

Jonathan joined Romans in 2001 as a trainee sales advisor and has progressed through a series of senior roles during his career with the company.

He became manager of the agency's flagship Bracknell office in 2014 before being promoted to area sales manager, area sales director and, most recently, regional sales director.

Throughout his career, Jonathan has focused on developing teams, improving sales performance and maintaining high standards of customer service.

In his new role, he will oversee the agency’s sales operations, drawing on his extensive experience of the business and its customers to support performance in a changing property market.

Jonathan’s promotion recognises his longstanding contribution to Romans and comes as the agency continues to develop its sales offering across the region.

He said: “Romans has been a huge part of my career, and I’m proud to take on this role. 

“We have talented teams across our growing number of offices, and I’m looking forward to working with them all to take the business to even greater heights.”

Part of LRG, Romans operates 27 offices, predominantly across the Thames Valley, providing residential property services to buyers and sellers.

Kevin Shaw, national sales managing director of LRG, added: “What has stood out throughout his journey is his ability to lead, develop, and innovate, while never losing sight of what matters most; our people, our customers, and the quality of service we provide.  

“After more than 25 years with Romans, there can be few people who know our business as well as Jonathan. 

“His experience, passion, work ethic and genuine belief in the brand make him a fantastic choice to lead our sales operation.”
