Bill owned his own business within the building industry covering the Halifax and Bradford district for over 30 years, where he then retired. Retirement didn’t suit Bill so he found himself a role that drew on his past experience and has been working with us for the past 10 years as an accompanied viewer.
Bill’s first home was one of the Grade II Listed properties here in Saltaire. He is familiar with the character of the properties and the village. A keen boat enthusiast, he is regularly found in Bingley on the Leeds Liverpool canal tinkering on his boat.
Always happy to help and offer ideas when a property needs updating.
