Helen Thring
Marketing & Operations Manager
Helen is Nick’s sister and she successfully set up and established our Lettings Department back in 2013. Having spent much of her career prior to DY working in marketing, Helen now heads up our Marketing & Operations department. This suits her organisational skills, creativity and keen eye for detail perfectly! She loves taking long walks with her Labrador Finn and when time permits, travelling and visiting new places around the globe.
Top of my bucket list is…
To keep travelling, visit more new countries and ultimately, one day explore Europe in a (very comfortable!) camper van.
My guilty pleasure…
Ben & Jerry’s cookie dough ice cream. Probably best to just not buy it!
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
Less shy/more confident. Still working on it…
If I were a superhero, my superpower would be…
To help find a cure for cancer and dementia. Here’s hoping.
On Sunday morning, you can usually find me…
Up bright and early for a long dog walk in the countryside.
You might be surprised to know that…
One of my earliest qualifications as a teenager was as a Clarks trained shoe fitter. Ohh, all those back to school shoes!

2022 is here.
And with the fresh hope and ambition of a new year (don’t groan just yet) comes the energy to change things for the better.
It’s the perfect window of opportunity and an ideal door leading to changes for many homeowners to improve their humble abodes.
Below are seven resolutions you could consider making to make your home a little bit sweeter, neater, and nicer.
Cut down on energy use
With bills rocketing, many homeowners are determined to be more mindful of the energy their home consumes.
Smarter homes
We’re not just talking about having a tidy-up but embracing technology to make your life easier. Smart apps and products can do a range of wonderful things. Such as turning on your heating exactly when needed, playing music to calm your pets when you’re out, and a 101 other ways to reduce your to-do list.
Declutter the garage/loft/cupboards
Whatever the space that ends up being the dumping ground in your home, the new year is THE perfect time to declutter it. Why delay it until spring? There’s no time like the present!
Safety review
Check your smoke and any carbon monoxide alarms. Not just in January but resolve to do it at least every month.
Money, money, money
Chances are that running your home is one of your biggest costs. Take the time to look at your monthly budget and get your financial house in order by cutting back on unnecessary costs. Do you really need all those subscriptions you never use…?
Move without moving
If moving isn’t an option right now, all your home may need is a bit of a move around. How about putting the sofa or bed somewhere different? Or swapping lamps and pictures in different rooms? If a change is as good as a rest, this will help you relax in your home that little bit more.
If your 2022 ambitions involve moving to a new home, the good news is we can help. And while we can’t help you stick to most of the resolutions above, selling your home successfully is something we are experts in.
Here’s to a happy, healthy, and homely 2022.
