About Ollie

Like a few of my colleagues here at Elliot Oliver I was in  hospitality for most of my career. I spent 15 years in  hospitality, most of it at the same hotel and I just felt that I  was ready to take on a new challenge and explore newer  opportunities. 

I’m a property manager at Elliot Oliver now and I’m really  enjoying it and being part of an amazing team. I’m also  enjoying building relationships with tenants and landlords and  also having more of a work-life balance than I’ve ever had  before! 

Working in property management means I’m still using a lot of  skills which I gained from my hospitality career. A great  property manager is someone who can put themselves in  another person’s shoes and who can also prioritise tasks and  cases well. When you’re dealing with lots of different people  with different needs, you have to work out who needs attention  first. 

My family live in Gloucestershire. My mum and dad still live in  Tewkesbury and I now live in Bishops Cleeve together with my  partner. We both love socialising in Cheltenham, especially in  the Brewery Quarter as it’s so vibrant and I like my food. I’m  also a bit of a petrolhead – I love cars and really enjoy working  and maintaining my own motor, as well as getting away for  weekend breaks now and again. 

My ideal tenant would be one of the big Ibiza DJs – I listen to a  lot of music – and I’d love to be the one to rent out a luxury  penthouse to them. This might have to be abroad though, to  make sure they caught all the sun and didn’t have to travel too  far to work! 

I’m definitely a loyal one and in it for the long term with Elliot  Oliver – I’m always aiming to improve and to work my way up  and my new role here offers me lots of opportunities for my  future progression.
