    Dave Roberts - Managing Director
    Being St Helens born and raised, I was extremely proud to be able to take over the ownership of JB&B Leach early in 2020 and it is a privilege to maintain and continue the trusted reputation that the business has within the town. My career has included working in the NHS, and within some large multinational IT companies taking me all over the world, but it is only in the last 20 years that I have developed the passion for property that has resulted in me owning and operating a number of property businesses and bringing me back to my home town. Outside of business, my wife Karen and I have three grown up children, two of which work within our businesses and I'm a keen cyclist and member of St Helens Cycle Racing Club.

    Judy Colls - Lettings Manager
    I joined JB&B Leach in 2016 when the lettings department was created, having spent a couple of years with a corporate team learning the ropes, I made the transition to an Independent Estate Agents and have thoroughly enjoyed building the business up and have gone from strength to strength. I decided at 50 it was time for a career change - after 30years working in the hotel industry I needed a new challenge. I love the fact every day is different and someone is always ready to throw a curve ball at you with a new challenge! Love the diversity of clients and characters that we deal with. On a personal note I have 3 mad mutts who like nothing more than a walk on the beach, followed by coffee & treats! I also enjoy watching a good drama on the tele and you will always find me with a crochet hook in hand and maybe the odd glass of cider or two!

    I became a part of the JB&B Leach team in 2017 having started in the industry as an apprentice with another agent in Ashton in Makerfield in 2010.In 2018 I took a break to bring my pride & joy Freddie into the world, now a mad two year old who in my spare time keeps me very busy. I love spending time with family and friends, eating out and am glad to be "pampered" in order to look glam for a night out.

I handle sales progression and the administration that goes hand in hand to ensure we provide a seamless service when buying or selling your home.

      Emma Mara - Sales Negotiator 
      I have worked in the Estate Agency industry for 12 years, with my previous employer in Wigan for 4 years and felt it was time for a change, the quest brought me nearer to home to be closer to family and friends, and JB&B Leach was my chosen employer. I settled in with them a year ago and have loved the change & challenge within the sales team, assisting both vendors and buyers achieve their goals and progressing their journey. In my spare time I love to spend time with my twin nieces, nephew and sister. They keep me very entertained and very busy, so a nice chilled glass, or bottle, of prosecco at the end of the day goes down very nicely.

The one part of my job that I love is conducting the viewings and being part of helping somebody find their perfect home. I enjoy the diversity of my role... no two days are the same! I enjoy travelling when I can and particular love the three months where I travelled to Australia and South Africa, an amazing experience where I carried out some volunteer work the big cats! Some of my hobbies include hiking in the Peak District and the Lake District, running to keep fit and baking. I love to spend to time with my boyfriend, family and friends, you will usually find me at a brunch or out for dinner and drinks at a weekend.

        Good morning Katherine.  We'd like to thank you all at Leachs' for the great service we received in the sale of our mum's house. From the probate valuation that Danielle sorted during the first lockdown when your office was closed, to the advice you gave regarding setting and reducing the price at the appropriate time, as well as the updates you gave on the progress of the sale, we feel that the whole process was carried out professionally and helpfully. Please pass on our thanks to all concerned.

        Thank you Ms Hatton
        November 2020
        Having met with a number of estate agents, Leach were the only agents who took the time to have a look around the property and explained in detail the whole process of selling. At each stage I was kept up to date with the process, and the staff were very friendly and knowledgable throughout. I would recommend JB&B Leach to family and friends and would definitely use them again in the future!
