Melvin Taylor
Office Whippet
Melvin is a valued member of the Haslemere team, his easy-going nature putting clients at ease immediately upon introduction. Born in the Surrey hills Melvin did not have the easiest start, being hit by a car, and left as a puppy. Since then, however he has lead a fulfilling life and career working on a small holding and has since semi-retired into working one or two days a week in the office at WPR. His hobbies include running and kayaking with his adoptive family.
Cherie Harding
Sales Negotiator
Cherie has lived in Fernhurst for many years and absolutely loves living in the countryside with its opportunities for walking her Tibetan Terrier called Pandora. (Pandy for short). Highly active she is keen on interior design and DIY and has spent the last 5 years renovating her home. Cherie works Monday to Friday as a credit controller for a Gaming company but with her love of all things property related we at WPR are lucky enough to have her at weekend as a sales assistant. Holding down two jobs doesn’t leave much time for other pursuits but when possible keep fit and boot camp are priorities as is socialising with family and friends.
Jack Marvin
Lettings Manager
Jack has spent much of his working career within the property industry, in both Lettings and Sales around the Surrey and Hampshire area. Driven by offering his clients the best possible experience, his goal is to offer a truly tailor-made service so that his clients can go about their day to day life’s knowing that their most valuable asset is being well looked after. In addition to his role here Jack also claims to be quite the gym fanatic within his spare time, although nobody is yet to see any evidence of this!
Matthew Taylor MNAEA
Assistant Branch Manager
Matt has had a somewhat varied career path, starting out as a (not entirely successful) musician, before moving into construction and subsequently working on stables and smallholdings as a groundskeeper. He now enjoys selling houses rather than looking after them. Being a pivotal part of our Haslemere sales team, he’s kept pretty busy but when time allows, he’s a keen swimmer and runner. He also enjoys kayaking and taking bracing walks in the Surrey Hills with his partner Cat and their whippet Melvin.

Ian has been an estate agent for over 30 years working on the Surrey, West Sussex and Hampshire borders.
