Episode 40: James Kendall
 Today's guest is the Managing Director of a business he founded in 2011 following a career in estate agency that began back in 2003.
His website has him down as AKA Mr Everywhere and I have to agree as I don't how he finds the time to serve his clients and the industry.
He has carved a market for himself in recent years across Bedfordshire by selling executive homes and charging higher fees. 
He had a brief radio presenting career so here is hoping the audience enjoys this recording.
This is one not to be missed.
