At Jacobs Steel, we pride ourselves on recognising and rewarding dedication, talent, and hard work. Today, we are thrilled to announce the promotion of Ollie Whiting to Lettings Director – a well-deserved recognition of his outstanding contribution to our lettings department over the past six years.
When Ollie joined Jacobs Steel in 2018, he was tasked with solely building up our lettings portfolio. With determination, vision, and a client-first approach, he has transformed our lettings division into a thriving operation. Under his leadership, we’ve built a skilled team of lettings consultants, property managers, and administrators who work seamlessly to deliver the exceptional service Jacobs Steel is known for.
Ollie’s commitment to building relationships has extended beyond our office walls, too. Over the years, he has cultivated strong partnerships with local tradespeople, ensuring that our landlords and tenants receive top-notch support whenever needed. Whether it’s a quick repair or routine maintenance, our trusted trades network is always on hand—keeping properties in great shape and our landlords happy.
“I am thrilled to be promoted to Lettings Director and proud of the progress we’ve made over the past six years. From humble beginnings, our department has grown into a team of nine dedicated professionals operating from two offices in Worthing and Hove.” Ollie said.
He continued, “This achievement is something I hold close, and I’m excited to take the next step in my career while continuing to build on the department’s success. Over the years, we’ve worked hard to create a service that truly stands out, thanks to a team that consistently goes above and beyond for our clients.
Our focus remains on delivering exceptional letting and property management services, and we take great pride in supporting the communities we serve.”
A message of gratitude
Pat Barton, one of the Managing Directors at Jacobs Steel, says,
“Matt and I want to take this opportunity to say a big “well done” to Ollie. His leadership, expertise, and dedication have made a significant impact not just on our business, but on the landlords and tenants we serve every day. Thank you, Ollie, for your hard work and vision—we can’t wait to see what you achieve in your new role.”
