    Josephine Ashby - Managing Partner
    With over 25 years experience in property, Josephine Ashby began working with John Bray Partners in 2005. Having begun her agency life in the central London market for well-known high street London agency, she soon moved to Knight Frank's International department handling the luxury residential markets in France and Italy.

    In 2003 Josephine moved to the West Country as Partner, to head up the Residential Development Team out of Exeter, covering the South West division and dealing with everything from small rural developments, to city centre regeneration projects and waterside development. It was here that she came to meet the team at John Bray and Partners and returned to her Cornish roots to her current role, Director and Head of Sales at John Bray & Partners.

    The busy and varied role in this wonderful part of Cornwall provides an exciting contrast to everyday estate agency, no day is ever the same with a broad and wonderful range of properties and people. The geographic patch is focused around the two offices in Rock (head office) and Port Isaac, straying further afield for exceptional properties of all shapes and sizes. Never far from the coast, the beach, the water and outdoors occupies much of her time outside of work.
