About Us

Since leaving school and heading for a career on the building site Aaron or (AJ) had a two weeks work experience in a local estate agent and never returned to mixing cement. He in fact went on to pass his industry exams and he has now been involved in the property sector for 20 years. He gained a wealth of knowledge working his way up from tea boy to running his own office, and in 2008 set up his own lettings and management business in the local area. After 8 successful years the opportunity to expand and grow came along and the business re-formed into Mannleys Estate Agents where he is one of the Directors. AJ loves all aspects of sport and enjoys a round of golf, watching football and has the occasional tip for the geegee’s.

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.

Christian embarked on his career as an estate agent in the dynamic surroundings of London's high-pressure districts, including Holland Park and Notting Hill, during the mid-nineties. Upon relocating to the Midlands, he transitioned to become a Home Inspector but discovered greater success working with a local agency in Wolverhampton.

After seven immensely successful years, Christian eagerly embraced a new challenge much closer to home, joining the Mannleys team.

His passion for sports, particularly rugby, mixed martial arts, and football, reflects his energetic and dynamic lifestyle.
