Meet the Team

In his 26 years of estate agency experience Andrew has been involved in every aspect of this business, from a sales negotiator to a branch manager and a Director responsible for 19 offices across Devon and Cornwall.

Throughout his career Andrew has always been hugely passionate about customer service. He has won many awards for his performance and customer service. He has recruited, trained and managed many of the estate agents who operate in West Cornwall today and delighted to have added an ESTA to MAP in the first year of opening.

His hand picked team have all worked directly with Andrew previously and he is delighted to bring together the MAP team to bring West Cornwall’s no strings estate agent to life.

Andrew heads up the sales operation at MAP, coordinating the Local Directors and working directly with the sales team.

Andrew is a keen golfer and is also known to many people for refereeing football across Cornwall. Andrew also enjoys writing quizzes as well as occasionally taking part. Over the years he has raised thousands of pounds for local charities by conducting quiz nights for various organisations and has a database of thousands of questions he has written and used over many years. He just wishes he could remember all the answers! Andrew lives with his wife, Lucy and two sons who have inherited his love of sport. During any spare time he can be found spending time with his family, often as a spectator to his sons' various sporting activities.

Michael joined the MAP team in 2019, and like all of the staff has a very extensive background in property and customer service and has previously worked with Andrew, Jenni and Andy in previous jobs.

Born in Cyprus to a Greek father and English mother, Michael first visited Cornwall 30 years ago, fell in love after meeting his (now) wife who grew up here as a child and whose family are Cornish.

Michael was a manager of a hotel in London for ten years and was then head hunted to sell properties in Cyprus for ex-pats which he did very successfully.

The lure of Cornwall was too much and in 2009 the family decided to relocate to the county and has never left. He now lives in a small village just outside Helston with his dogs and one grown up child. Michael then joined a national estate agent as a sales negotiator and after several promotions was running a large branch when he decided the time was right to join some ex-colleagues and work at MAP.

Michael has won several awards in previous roles and brings a passion for people and property to the team along with his Mediterranean ways!

Michael is very family orientated, enjoys long walks with his dogs, has previously kept chickens and on his days off can be found on the beach topping up his sun tan.

If you are selling in Helston or the Lizard Peninsula, Michael will be your 1-1 contact and extremely happy to help and support you.

Andy joined estate agency in 1991 and has predominately worked in the Redruth and Camborne area for that time. Previously Andy worked locally within the mining industry and served for over ten years at Redruth fire station.

Andy has also been involved with the buying and selling of land for development and therefore is our 'go to' person for any such sites. Andy possesses extensive knowledge of planning and development having being involved in numerous sites, both small and large, across West Cornwall.

Andy was very successfully managing a high street agent in Redruth, winning several awards, until MAP came calling allowing him to develop his passion for 1-1 customer service and providing honest and informative advice to his clients.

Andy is married to Jenni who also works for the company, lives in Redruth and is a Governor at Redruth school.

Working initially in retail, Lucy then joined Estate Agency as a secretary in Penryn which evolved to being in a locum secretary position covering various offices all over Cornwall.

Lucy left work to have her two children with Andrew and then stayed at home with the boys whilst they went through Primary School. During these years a successful home baking business was born, supplying a variety of local shops, cafes and markets.

When MAP was created the secretarial fingers were dusted off and called back into action!

Baking is now purely a leisure activity and spare time is spent ferrying and supporting the children in their sporting pursuits, enjoying time with family and friends and trying to keep fit!

Holly joined the team in 2022, having replaced our original ‘MAP dog’ Carn, who sadly passed in January that year. Holly is a Collie / Spring Spaniel cross and is in the office on most days and loves meeting new people, in most cases a little too enthusiastically! Having a pooch in the office is a great way for an initial meet and greet and Holly is learning her role is very valuable with putting any client coming into our office at ease straight away with a waggy tail and a wet nose to say hello.

Holly loves walks, treats, belly rubs and cuddles and when not in the office can be found lying on a sofa or under a tree snoozing and relaxing. If you phone the office you may hear Holly in the background as she does like a good ‘woof’ occasionally to say ‘hello’ to anyone visiting. Holly is by far the cutest member of the team! We are all doggy people at MAP and having one in the office has many benefits to both the team and visitors alike and we are lucky that we are allowed to bring Holly into the office to work with us.
