South Wales-based estate agency Dawsons has made a significant appointment by announcing Joanne Summerfield-Talbot as Director of Residential Sales.

Joanne, 49, began her career in estate agency in 1983 and eventually joined Dawsons 12 years ago, initially in their Auction department before becoming Manager at the firm’s Gorseinon Branch in 2007.

Joanne’s daily activities will include being the day-today point of contact for Dawsons’ eight sales branches, as well as recruitment, training and continuous development of all sales staff, reviewing and implementing new business policies and ultimately driving Dawsons forward in an effort to win greater market share in Swansea.

“Due to the continued success and expansion of the company the role of Director of Residential Sales has been created and I am so thrilled to be given the opportunity by the Partners,” said Joanne. “Of course there will be challenging times ahead as in all industries. However, I feel I am more than ready and capable to meet the demands.”
