Neil Dawson, new property lettings manager for Frank Harris and Company, writes:

I have now almost completed my first week  as the new Lettings Manager of Frank Harris and Company’s Southampton Row/Marchmont Street offices and have managed to successfully negotiate the week with no emergencies or disasters.

I am lucky to have been ably assisted by Michelle Cook who has 10 years experience of the area and the office, also my two staff members Rachel and Chris who have been helpful and patient in equal measure.

Coming from the Frank Harris City office with the imposing Barbican Centre sitting on its doorstep and the majority  of its other properties nestled amongst the large commercial buildings, it has been quite a culture shock coming to the almost village feel of Bloomsbury with its period buildings and mansion blocks.

Although positioned in the heart of the largest city in Europe you really feel a real sense of community which is refreshing to see in such a large and diverse capital.

I have also loved the fact that there is so much  life & culture directly on your doorstep from the British Museum  and the varied art galleries on Lambs Conduit Street  to the shopping at the Brunswick Centre & Covent Garden, not to mention the changing face of Kings Cross. All in all an very exciting and eclectic place to work .

 All I need to do now is concentrate on finding my way around and everything else should fall into place!!
