Turning what is the vision of a client’s perfect property into reality is one of Rod’s strengths and one which gives him the greatest job satisfaction.

Mark Gedye

Mark was born in Bath and raised in the West Country, before moving on to University to gain a degree in Business Administration and a Masters degree in Human Resource Management. Graduation led to a move to London and a successful career as a senior manager with a global consulting firm.

During his time in London, Mark developed a passion for property which led to the development of his own portfolio of properties. A number of years ago his desire to return to the West Country was fulfilled by settling in Bristol. This led to a change of career too and the setting up of a Property Finder business based in Bristol, with coverage across the South West. After a number of successful years operating in the area, Mark decided to join Garrington to build on his local expertise and experience of the Bristol, Bath and Somerset markets. Mark has an extensive and valuable network of contacts, which enables him to offer the best and most complete service for buyers looking to secure a property in the area.

A keen runner, cyclist and lover of the outdoors, Mark uses his hobbies as a way of exploring his local area and can often be found whiling away the hours pedalling through the towns, villages and hills(!) of the region, taking in properties on his way.
