    Rob Kennedy - Managing Director
    Originally from Hale, Rob always appreciated some of the incredible homes he would deliver papers to on his three paper rounds. After graduating from Newcastle University Rob joined a large corporate agent and successfully ran the Sale office followed by the Timperley and Hale offices, coming to the hallowed turf of Didsbury in 1998. Under Rob's leadership, each office was transformed into a top performing Branch office. Always uncomfortable with the restrictions of leading inflexible corporate companies, Rob craved the freedom of his own business to practice his own style of estate agency forming Philip James Kennedy in 2003. More recently Rob has become a shareholder in the whole of the Philip James Group which still remains one of the only truly independent local estate agencies.
