A residential property sales manager with more than 17 years’ experience has joined Worcestershire estate agent, Nicol & Co.

Dan Peace joins Nicol & Co’s Droitwich Spa office from Connells in Worcester, where he spent two years as branch manager, following three years in their Kidderminster office.

Having previously worked with his father at Allan Morris & Peace Ltd for more than 12 years, Dan is pleased to be returning to the world of independent agency.

Matt Nicol, managing director at Nicol & Co, said: “We’re delighted to announce Dan’s arrival. Not only is he a nice guy, he also brings a great deal of experience and local knowledge with him which is a powerful combination and why we selected him.

“From our first meeting, Dan impressed us with his knowledge of the industry and his experience in managing teams in a competitive market place. We are already seeing those skills employed here at Nicol & Co and he has settled in well.”

Dan’s appointment has taken Nicol & Co’s staff numbers in Droitwich to nine, and the company now employs nearly 40 staff across Worcestershire, which include its Worcester and Malvern offices.
