Sebastien Lewis

Sebastien Lewis
Managing Director / Owner

Sebastien acquired Warren Powell Richards following the retirement of two of the three founding partners. We were delighted to see he has boundless enthusiasm and positivity which reminded us of ourselves 30 years ago... We were also pleased to learn he is a car and motor bike enthusiast and more specifically Italian cars and even more specifically Alfa Romeo’s so it is therefore widely accepted within the company that he can do no wrong and has marvellous taste. However, whist discussing his Bio we stumbled upon some concerns. Seb confesses to being half Australian and yet his last meal of choice would be a full English breakfast, leaving us wondering what is wrong with a full Australian. His ideal Home would be a multi bay garage with a bedroom attached which of course is everyman’s dream, he also sites cooking as a passion although, has yet to explain where abouts in the garage this cooking would take place. He finally admits to being keen on D.I.Y whilst also confessing bodging would be more of an apt title.

Steven Tebbutt

Steven Tebbutt MNAEA
Branch Manager

Steve was born, raised, and spent the first 20 years of his life in Coventry, but we forgive him for that. In an unusual preparation for a career in Estate Agency he gained a degree in applied biology which he only used for a short time whilst working in an army research establishment. In 1987, he saw the light, became an honorary southerner, and began a career in Estate Agency where he has worked in Farnham for approaching 30 years.

With a keen interest in all sports, he admits that age now dictates that he is more of an armchair spectator than a participant. His first love remains Coventry City but over recent years that has been a very heavy cross to bear and so, he guiltily confesses to being a closet Arsenal fan.

Married with 3 children, outside of work he enjoys an active social life, and has been fortunate to travel widely with particular highlights being the United States and Hong Kong which he has been lucky enough to visit on several occasions. He is also a keen reader particularly enjoying fantasy novels.

Educated at Tomlinscote School in Frimley and the Farnborough College of Technology her confidence, easy manner, attention to detail and drive for success has made her a natural talent when it comes to Estate Agency.

Estelle Gurney

Estelle Gurney
Lettings Administrator

Estelle has over 20 years experience of working within the lettings industry and was over the moon when she was offered a job with the Warren-Powell Richards team. Her love for property developed from a young age, when other girls were drawing princesses, Estelle was drawing houses and sticking them on her bedroom wall pretending it was an Estate Agents window!

Estelle has lived in central Farnham for many years where she lives with her husband and daughter. She enjoys being within walking distance of Farnham Park and the town centre.

In her spare time she likes to go shopping and her daughter has also developed a passion for this as well, much to her husbands delight! She also likes to spend time with family and friends, walking, going to the cinema and hopes to take up horse riding again some day. Estelle likes to be organised and tidy and loves compiling a list of what needs doing.

Melissa Cannons

Melissa Cannons
Property Manager

Melissa lives in Alton with her little girl which is where she was originally from although she moved to Holland for a few years as a baby. She is a big music lover and enjoys going to gigs. She is also a fan of the great outdoors and spending time with her family. When we asked for something quirky about her, we discovered that her favourite animals are cows and lobsters which she fully accepts is a bit weird, but weird in our opinion is good! Her work passion is the property business and to learn all aspects of it. She particular enjoys working in Property Management as she likes to problem solve and so she must be really happy as Property Management always has its fair share of problems to sort out.

Rosie Sutherland

Rosie Sutherland
Property Manager

Rosie was born in Portsmouth, grew up in Gosport and now lives happily in Guildford with her husband and their two sons. It must be a noisy household as Rosie plays the piano and sings, her husband plays the drums, and her boys are learning the piano and the guitar. Just imagine being their neighbour! With degrees in English Literature & Language and Counselling & Psychotherapy it’s also a studious household as further demonstrated by Rosie working on her great novel which remains half-finished following the end of lockdown. With her further interest in crochet and knitting Rosie also claims that if you can make it in wool then she will. All this activity begs the question how she has the time to be such a fantastic member of our Property Management team but without doubt she absolutely does. I can only put it down to her amazing organisational skills.

Sybil Tebbutt

Sybil Tebbutt
General dogs’ body

Sybil Tebbutt is one of our newest starters and brings with her no end of enthusiasm and spirit. Management have noted her success particularly on the sales progression front, with her terrier-esque tenacity fitting the offices approach to this element of the job. Sybil moved out of the Oxford area relatively recently and is still discovering Farnham and the surrounding areas. Given her favourite pastime is going for walks in the local parks we’re sure she will be a local expert in no time. Always ‘on the ball’ and fiercely independent the future is certainly looking bright for young Sybil.
