Richard Barran

Manager

Used to be a sales manager for Legal & General. Set up as a mortgage broker in Nov 1997 working out of the Wortley office, bought the Estate Agency business from the previous owner in 1999 and has since opened up offices in Gildersome and Greengates. Outside work I enjoy cycling holidays but should go out more on the bike to shift some middle aged spread. I also enjoy amateur theatre and get involved with several groups stage managing and designing sets for various plays, musicals and pantomimes. I occasionally venture onto stage and have played parts in several plays and musicals.

Paul Jones

Manager / Valuer

Used to work in the retail sector where he was a store manager for ASDA, he put his retail experience to good use and joined Kath Wells in 1999 to become the manager and valuer; he enjoys nothing more than matching vendors with buyers, and landlords with tenants, getting a real buzz from being around people and helping then achieve what they set out to do. Although he doesn’t look it, Paul is now a Granddad and spends much of his spare time with his two grandchildren and enjoys family time with his two sons and their families
