Daniel Harrington, Managing Director of Global Growth for Fine & Country and longstanding member of the senior management team is moving from his head office position to work for a major customer of the brand.
Having spent nearly ten years with the head office team growing the brand and launching over 100 locations around the world, he’s transitioning to becoming a customer as he partners with Gareth Mozley, Chief Executive of Fine & Country South East London and East Coast Australia.
He’s taking his years of experience and extensive knowledge of the brand’s offering to the Master Licence for East Coast Australia, which launches later this year.
NATURAL GROWTH REGION
Gareth Mozley, Chief Executive of Fine & Country South East London and East Coast AustraliaAustralia is a natural growth region for the Fine & Country brand with a large and accelerating premium market and natural synergies with both the UK and international network that already exists.
Harrington will be working closely with Mozley as he launches their second Fine & Country office in London Bridge to work alongside their existing office covering the South East London region.
Fine & Country has experienced significant growth in London over the past four years, with Harrington looking to build on and accelerate this growth moving forward.
Harrington says: “I have been lucky enough to spend the last ten years travelling the UK and the world learning from the best local independent agents, gaining insight into how they have grown their core businesses and how they have successfully utilised the Fine & Country brand and tools to add an additional revenue stream to those businesses.”
He adds: “Having sold and nurtured the brand from business to business for a significant period, I’m looking forward to not only continuing that in the East Australia region but getting back into the business-to-consumer side.
“And having sold the brand for years, I fully believe in it and have seen firsthand the benefits it brings to both agents and consumers alike. I’m looking forward to the next years of my Fine & Country journey.”
PASSION FOR THE BRAND
Gareth Mozley, founder of Gareth James Agency and Chief Executive of Fine & Country East Australia and South East London, says: “The passion that Daniel displayed for the brand was one of the main reasons we bought into the Fine & Country brand two years ago.
“With our time now split between London and Sydney, when the opportunity came to work with Daniel expanding Fine & Country along the stunning East Coast Australia from Melbourne, through Sydney, Byron Bay, Brisbane right up to the Great Barrier Reef in Cairns, we didn’t hesitate.”
