VARIOUS ROLES
He went on to hold various roles within the business becoming a key part of the team, led by Managing Director Adam Pye.

Palethorpe, a former President of NAVA Propertymark (The National Association of Valuer & Auctioneers), says: “To be joining the Board at such a pivotal time in the firm’s history is incredibly exciting and humbling.
“Since joining the firm as a trainee all those years ago, the business has evolved almost beyond recognition, particularly in the last few years.”

He adds: “It is my ambition that when I step down in the distant future the company achieves sustainable growth and is even bigger and better than it is today.”
Adam Pye says: “Trevor has played a pivotal role in helping to develop John Pye and Sons into the renowned award-winning, multi-million-pound business it is today. This appointment is a testament to our commitment to growing talent from within and the part Trevor has played in helping us drive into new markets and achieve our ambitious goals to date.”
The appointment takes the number of Board directors at the independent family business to nine.
