Estate agent who worked in the industry for 60 years finally retires
Andrew Morris established the agency that bears his name in Hereford in 1986, but is now handing the reins over to fellow director Craig Sewell.
An agent who ran his own business for nearly 40 years has decided to step aside.
Andrew Morris (main image) established the agency that bears his name in Hereford in 1986, and has worked from the same office in Bridge Street ever since.
But now Morris, who has turned 75, and his wife Sandra who was the firm’s finance director have sold up to fellow director Craig Sewell.
Ideal buyer
“Craig joined the company 15 years ago and has helped the progress and is the ideal buyer to continue the success of Andrew Morris Estate Agents,” Morris told the Hereford Times.
“I will continue in the business on a two day a week to maintain servicing clients, but Sandra is taking well deserved retirement.
“After reaching 75 and having served the business for nearly 60 years the time was right to sell to Craig and for the team to continue expanding,” he said.
Began career
Morris began his career as an agent with Russell Baldwin and Bright in 1967, where he was part of the property sales team for 15 years.
He then joined Stooke Hill in 1982, before he opened Andrew Morris Estate Agents on 1 August, 1986 (see picture below).
