Cherry Godfrey has announced the appointment of one of Guernsey's most respected property professionals, Stuart Leslie, as Head of Residential Sales, marking another significant milestone in the continued growth of the Group's property division.
Widely recognised for his expertise within Guernsey's residential property market, Stuart brings more than a decade of experience advising buyers and sellers across some of the island's most notable property transactions. His appointment reflects Cherry Godfrey's continued investment in building a market-leading property offering and strengthening its position within the Guernsey market.
Having built a reputation for delivering exceptional results across both residential and commercial property, Stuart joins the business at an exciting stage in its development. His extensive market knowledge, longstanding client relationships and deep understanding of Guernsey's property landscape will help support the next phase of growth for Cherry Godfrey's expanding property division.
The appointment reinforces the company's long-term commitment to investing in experienced local talent and delivering a truly integrated property service. By bringing together residential sales, lettings, property management, mortgages, insurance and financial services under one trusted brand, Cherry Godfrey continues to offer clients expert support at every stage of their property journey.
Speaking about his appointment, Stuart said:
"I've spent my career helping people navigate some of life's biggest decisions, and what attracted me to Cherry Godfrey was the opportunity to be part of a business that's still writing its next chapter.
"The foundations are already incredibly strong. The brand is trusted, the people are passionate, and there's a genuine ambition to keep evolving and raising the bar. Opportunities to join a business at this stage of its journey don't come along very often.
"Of course, after many years in property I could probably have taken the sensible option and looked for a quieter life, but where would the fun be in that? What excites me is the challenge. We're building something different: a genuinely joined-up proposition where clients can access expert support across every stage of their property journey. That's exciting, and I believe there's enormous potential for what we can achieve together over the coming years."
Mike Collins, Group Property Director at Cherry Godfrey, welcomed Stuart to the team and highlighted the value he brings to the business.
"Stuart is one of the most respected and recognisable names in Guernsey property, and we're delighted to welcome him to the team.
"Throughout his career he has earned the trust of countless clients through his professionalism, market insight and ability to guide people through important property decisions with confidence. His experience, reputation and deep understanding of the local market make him an exceptional addition to our leadership team."
As Cherry Godfrey continues to grow its presence within Guernsey's property market, Stuart's appointment represents an important step in the evolution of the business. His expertise across both the Local and Open Market sectors will play a key role in supporting the company's ambitions and helping to shape the future of its property offering.
With a focus on delivering exceptional service, trusted advice and a seamless customer experience, Cherry Godfrey remains committed to building a modern property proposition that meets the evolving needs of buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants across the island.
