Leadership team

Patrick Littlemore
CEO

Since joining Marsh & Parsons in 2006, Patrick has been instrumental in helping to build, shape and guide Marsh & Parsons’ rapid network expansion.

Patrick has a creative background, having moved to London from Sydney in 1999 to complete his postgraduate studies at the Royal College of Music. In 2000, whilst still studying, Patrick started his career in property with Hamptons International and within a year was Lettings Manager of their Islington office. During his time at the agency, Patrick created dynamic, market leading teams from Islington to Richmond. His success saw his promotion to Area Manager, covering south west London.

Patrick joined Marsh & Parsons in 2006 to set-up the new Chelsea lettings office, going on to oversee the south and west lettings regions and establishing five new offices with the purchase of Vanstons. Between 2008 and 2011, Patrick was also responsible for Operations, a role that provided him with an invaluable knowledge of all aspects of the business.

By 2011, Patrick was appointed Lettings Director and was invited to join the Management Board. His extraordinary energy and clarity of purpose saw Patrick appointed as CEO of Marsh & Parsons in 2018. In music, he says, it’s all about the performer’s relationship with the audience; in estate agency, it’s the harmony of the client’s needs and the agent’s performance.
