Episode 179: Alistair Trippett

Today's guest is the Managing Director of Heywoods Estate Agents.He purchased Heywoods in October 2022 whilst only in his twenties and has been the driving force behind it going from strength to strength and increasing the profitability of the business over the past couple of years.On his mission, he has embraced learning from others, collaboration, the power of a network, leveraging social media and video content.He also has an extensive background in property as a landlord and developer, having started his career at just 18, so offers a well-rounded view on estate agency and the property market.Prior to this, he was diagnosed with bone cancer at the age of 12 and had chemo and 15+ operations to salvage his leg.I would very much describe him as someone with an incredibly wise head on young shoulders and found this a really inspirational conversation that will no doubt inspire many others who listen to it as well.
