About Us

With a career in the property industry spanning from the tender age of leaving school (when disco was still cool and avocado bathrooms were all the rage), Aaron brings a lifetime of expertise to the table. As Director of Mannleys, Aaron oversees the smooth running of the business operations, ensuring everything ticks along like a Swiss watch—or at least like a good British kettle.

While proficient in sales, Aaron's real passion lies in the letting and property management side of things. Whether it’s helping tenants find their perfect nest or keeping landlords as happy as a cat in a sunbeam, Aaron ensures everyone’s property journey is as smooth as freshly laid laminate flooring.

He takes pride in the agency’s extensive network across the UK, helping clients move with ease, whether it's down the road or across the country. Known for a no-nonsense approach and a knack for finding solutions, they’re the person you want in your corner when navigating the sometimes-bumpy terrain of property management.

When not working their magic in the office, Aaron enjoys indulging in football (a fan, not a player—let's be realistic), horse racing (owning a share in one, which sounds more glamorous than it probably is), and keeping a watchful eye over their thriving local village pub. Juggling these passions with a career as a director might seem like a lot, but for Aaron, it’s all in a day's work.

I have over 24 years in estate agency, the journey began in 1995 as a trainee soon progressing after only two years to office manager. I enjoy all aspects of the property market and through my time I have gained a great insight into the Shropshire property market, this giving me excellent knowledge of the property world enabling me to offer our clients professional advice. The creation of Mannleys began in 2016 and setting up Mannleys with such a great team has been an amazing journey and I am so proud of what our company has already achieved. In what spare time I do get!! I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, enjoying plenty of travel, I love cooking especially with my kids and enjoy most sport’s particularly football and cricket.

I started with the company in 2017 initially taken on in the Lettings department part time, to help out with maintenance, that soon changed! With the business growing so rapidly so have the hours, but I love it. My previous life was mostly in Retail Management but I left to have a career break whilst nurturing my 2 sons. I love socialising and eating out in nice restaurants, and I have a passion for collecting different Gins.
