Niall started at Winkworth in January 2015 when he was just 17, starting as a full time Sales Negotiator. He has lived in Sleaford all of his life, so he has a vast depth of knowledge on the area itself. He prides himself on his customer service, and ensuring that he finds buyers their perfect home whilst making sure he does his best to progress the sale from the initial valuation, to offer acceptance and completion, as smoothly as possibly. After becoming our Residential Valuer back in 2020, Niall has now continued his career to become Sleaford’s Branch Manager taking on more responsibility which he thrives on. Niall is a keen sportsman who enjoys playing and watching football in his spare time. Unfortunately Niall’s downfall is the fact he is a Manchester United fan, so don’t be surprised to see him in a bad mood after a weekend!

Matt joined Winkworth December 2017, and was originally employed at our Bourne office as an apprentice. Having completed his apprenticeship, Matt was taken on as a full time Sales Negotiator in Bourne. Continued progression enabled Matt to transfer to our successful Sleaford office allowing him to fine tune the skills he had learnt at Bourne. Matt continued his career at Sleaford by progressing to the role of Senior Sales Negotiator in December 2021 and since then has gone even further with a recent promotion to Sleaford’s Assistant Manager, alongside Branch Manager Niall. Matt provides excellent customer services and is happy to help anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Outside of work Matt is unfortunately a Chelsea fan. Because of this, he also takes an interest in Rugby and Cricket so he at least has something to look forward to watching on the weekend.
