LAUREL AND WYLDE - Key Persons


Leanne Catania

Job Titles:
  • Branch Manager - Cheddar
In all the years I have been in Estate Agency I have never known anyone fit into their role quite like Leanne! An extremely proactive and hard-working person that always puts in 100% from start to finish. Coming from a sales type background she fancied a change of career and happened to come and see me at exactly the right time, and I couldn't have been happier… which is why I have made the decision to make her Branch Manager of Laurel & Wylde Cheddar. A great asset to the company, always striving for that next goal, eager to learn and hungry for success, I hope Leanne is with us for a long time to come.

Nick Puddy - Managing Director

Job Titles:
  • Managing Director
I have been active in the industry for over 20 years now. During that time I have been fortunate to work in an amazing variety of markets, in urban areas such as Bristol, Bath and Taunton, and most of the rural areas in-between. I have successfully listed and sold properties ranging from £35,000 all the way to £2,900,000. Working in the Wells branch for one of the largest estate agents in the country, I was proud to increase ‘New Listings' by 67% in one year, moving the office from a regional ranking of 57th, out of 59, to first. The office also went to No.1 for sales the very same year! Doing this against budget was one of my proudest achievements and inspired my decision to start Laurel & Wylde. Proud to be from a farming background and live in the lovely village of Mark where I grew up. Since I became a father to my two little worlds 9 years ago now my children have been my inspiration for working hard and making a career for myself, and now for making the dream of expanding my own Estate Agency Business come true. Estate agents have a bad reputation, and some of that is justified. But I have always tried to show the best of our industry, and that we should not all be tarred with the same brush. That is something I like to think I have done very well and will continue doing well at Laurel & Wylde.
