Gavin, who established Marriott & Co. in 1987, worked in the printing industry for ten years before a change in career took him to a firm of Plant and Machinery Valuers and Auctioneers in London.  Gavin is qualified as a Chartered Valuation Surveyor and has undertaken major corporate valuation work worldwide.  On a national level, Gavin is much involved in insolvency valuations and disposals.

In his spare time, Gavin finds relaxation by racing his sailing boat, and by walking and training his very mischievous gun-dog.

Alan Byrne:

Alan commenced a career in banking before becoming a Plant and Machinery Valuer with a practice in London, and joined Marriott & Co. as Senior Valuer in 1993. His background knowledge of valuation work is related to the printing industry, in which he has gained an extensive and much sought after knowledge. Although he has become involved in valuation and disposal work (including conducting auctions) for Insolvency Practitioners , much of Alan's work is dedicated to insurance assessments involving extensive overseas travel.

Alan is a veteran car enthusiast, and now that his family have left home, Alan much enjoys being a grandparent and travelling extensively with his wife.

Judith Campbell:

Judith trained and worked as a Graphic Designer until she was lured away in 1991 by the attraction of plant, machinery and chattel asset disposal work to become Marriott & Co.'s Auction Manager. Judith's integrity, her meticulous eye for detail, and outstanding organizational skills at the auction and tender sales she runs, continues to impress even the most experienced of bidders and clients.

In her spare time, Judith enjoys gardening, particularly growing her own vegetables, and participates in walks for charity.

Timothy Salter MRICS FAAV:

Timothy joined Marriott & Co. in 2001 and worked prior to that for five years with a Cambridge based firm of Industrial and Agricultural Auctioneers and Valuers. Qualifying as a Chartered Surveyor in 1994, he is a member of both the Plant and Machinery and Rural Practice faculties of the RICS. In the course of his agricultural work, he also qualified as a Fellow of the Association of Agricultural Valuers in 1997. He is principally involved in insolvency valuations and disposals although carries out valuations for a variety of purposes such as insurance and business transfer.

Timothy has a young family, but nevertheless finds time for cycling, he recently completed the coast to coast (C2C) cycle ride, and any other spare time might find him shooting or kite buggying.

Thomas Allman:

Thomas began his working life as a catering manager before he joined Marriott & Co in May 2007. He registered with the RICS as a student member in 2008 and began studying with the College of Estate Management in Reading, with the intention of becoming a Chartered Surveyor.

Thomas’ spare time is taken up primarily by his little boy and playing sports whenever he gets the chance.

Aaron Campbell AAPI:

Aaron graduated from the Curtin University of Technology in Perth, Australia in 2005 with a Bachelor of Commerce. He was immediately snapped up by a National Property valuation firm and valued properties ranging from the commercial and residential to industrial until July 08.  His move to the UK has lead to a more varied professional role at Marriott & Co as Aaron is now involved in all areas of our valuation and disposal work.

Aaron’s love of travel was a component in his decision to move to the UK. His preference for surfing and scuba diving has been put on hold slightly here in the UK, (apparently the water is too cold!) so nowadays he just sticks to armchair sports and walking his dog.

Karen Price:

Karen joined Marriott & Co. in 2006 as Office Manager. Despite a busy home life, she is in the office early each day to ensure that all daily office procedures run smoothly and to keep the team in check.

Karen enjoys club and international rugby football with her teenage children, and seems to have no difficulty in supporting the right team when Ireland plays England!

Ginny Stacpoole:

Ginny has always worked within the professions, mostly legal, including a spell leading a team of conveyancers with a firm in Sydney, Australia, and another as the Secretary to Sir Hubert Shirley-Smith who was responsible for building, amongst other things, Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Forth Road Bridge - which probably explains her perseverance and tenacity. She joined Marriott & Co.'s team in the mid 1990's not only in a secretarial capacity, but also as the creator and administrator of the practice's extensive database.

Iain is a Chartered Surveyor and has been involved in the commercial property market in London and the Home Counties for around 20 years. In 1999, after 7 years in the central London office market he formed Park Steele.

Iain spends all his spare time outdoors with his young sons. He enjoys yearly skiing holidays and trips to his cottage in Wales.

Sheila Taylor:

Sheila joined the team in 1991 as bookkeeper and accounts person; order and a balancing ledger is the daily requirement! As well as her role in the Marriott & Co accounts office, Sheila is responsible for managing the client account procedures following asset disposals.

Away from her work, Sheila is always busy – either with her family, or with her charity work, or as a campanologist at her local church.
