In the Industry: Since Feb 2000
At Clarkes Estates: Since May 2005

DIRECTOR
Born: No Clue
In the Industry: Since time began
At Clarkes Estates: Since 2005
Fun Fact: He’s a self-confessed F1 and car fanatic. Loves to go on a road trip and the only question is which car to take.
Likes: Is a lifelong Chelsea supporter who doesn’t like to miss a match and if he has a hazy IPA in his hand whilst watching… all the better!
Goals: Has personally been involved in six successful business start ups and always has his eye out for further opportunities.
Favourite Food: Enjoys a good BBQ with friends and family but you won’t have to fight him for the wine, he’ll have a hazy IPA every time.
Paula Clarke
DIRECTOR
Born: May 1971 – Taurus
In the Industry: Since May 2005
At Clarkes Estates: Since Jan 2006
Fun Fact: Likes to sail in the Mediterranean but completed her Day Skipper sailing course in Force 8 winds in the Solent making the Mediterranean even more inviting
Likes to: Paula’s love for being creative knows no bounds – from whipping up delicious meals to crafting candles that smell amazing and everything in between – that’s her happy place. She’s always ready for a catch up with friends over coffee or dinner and Spain holds a special place in her heart. Her Spanish might be a work in progress but for now ‘’Hola, Mas Sangria, Por Favor’’ serves her well.
SALES MANAGER
Born: March 1975, Pisces
In the Industry: since 2016
Joined Clarkes: April 2025
Fun Facts: Nigel has run marathons in both London and Barcelona, and outside of work he is commonly found in the gym, throwing weights around in time with a rock band. Yes, you guessed it, he is almost Teetotal too!
Likes to: Visit the theatre and rock along with the musicals – we suspect that secretly, his gym playlist is actually a musical medley – Let It Snow, Let It Snow, the Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway! Oh my, he really is a hard nut.
Favorite food: The spicier the better – Bring it on!
Born: June 1995, Cancer
In the Industry: since Jan 2024
Joined Clarkes: January 2024
Fun Facts: Climbed mount Snowdon and back down all before 6am
Likes to: Totally obsessed with getting her daily step count in (with no exceptions!) you can find her in the gym or out walking, especially when the sun is shining. Enjoys a white wine, occasionally with her favourite Chinese takeaway.
Favorite drink: Addicted to coffee, or a long island iced tea when celebrating with Friends.
Born: July 1987, Cancer
In the Industry: Since October 2010
At Clarkes Estates: Since Feb 2025
Fun Fact: Viola may be less than 5ft tall, but make no mistake, she is a Pocket Rocket that is full of energy and smiles. Not only that, but Viola is also the glot-est of Polyglots. She is fluent in English, Polish and Russian, and takes a pretty good stab at Romain, Bulgarian and Kurdish. We think she secretly wants to learn Dothraki and Klingon, but just won’t admit it.
Likes to: When she isn’t chasing her daughter around the house (usually with a dustpan or a mop) Viola likes to read, and regularly throws caution to the wind with spontaneous trips to into the countryside and nature. (We’ll say Tree-Hugger – but only very quietly).
BLOCK MANAGEMENT PROPERTY MANAGER
Born: August 1996
In the Industry: since 2016
Joined Clarkes: Since March 2024
Fun Facts: Obsessed with football (Blue is the Colour!) and Only Fools & Horses!
Likes to: Watch football and golf and enjoys spending time with family and friends.
Next Goal: He says he isn’t adventurous but wants to fly the World’s ultimate zipwire in Las Vegas.
SALES NEGOTIATOR
Born: September 2004
In the Industry: Since March 2025
At Clarkes Estates: Since March 2025
Fun Fact: In normal daily life, Matt loves to thrash the opposition and play football, but for more exciting times he is likely to be found planning or going on a road trip with his pals. He has an ambition to zip line across the Grand Canyon. Wow – What a road trip that will be. We think he must be a bit crazy.
Likes to: Watch documentaries. He has a particular interest in the Who-Dun-It-Crime, and Why-The-Plane-Crashed varieties. We suspect that he is secretly training for How-to-Wear-a-Parachute and What-To-Do-When-The-Zip-Line-Has-Been-Sabotaged. He can then be the sole survivor of his very own Who-Dun-It-Not-Me-I-Am-The-Hero,
Born: 1975, Leo
In the Industry: Since May 1999
At Clarkes Estates: Since May 2025
Fun Fact: Singing ‘’I believe I can fly’’ somewhere in between screams of terror and pure joy she soared like a superhero on the longest zipline over water in the Caribbean.
Likes to: Tracey loves a cruising holiday — Anywhere will do as long as it’s hot and there’s a Strawberry Daiquiri involved! Her latest trip took her up the Californian coast, with a quick stop in Las Vegas (she says she’s not a gambler… but we have our doubts!). When she’s not exploring the world, Tracey enjoys dining out with friends, cross-stitch and reading.
