Our History
2012
THE BEGINNINGS
September 2012 Flambard Williams was born. Set up by Stephen Coles with a head office in Braintree.
Local Recruitment
The team was recruited locally and grew slowly, allowing for a strong foundation to be built for future growth and development.
Early Contracts
A number of early contracts were signed with developers, which proved crucial for the company's growth and future success.
Small Client Base
Over the next year, the business dealt with a small number of clients, allowing for focused attention and personalised service.
Building Fundamentals
This period gave the company time to work on the fundamentals of the business, such as marketing and web design, which are often overlooked when setting up a business.

2013
The Key Signing
2013 was a continuation of 2012, but it soon became apparent to Stephen Coles that the business was moving too slowly under his leadership, so he started to look for potential buyers. In November 2013, Christopher Whetstone purchased the company. From this moment, the company dramatically expanded.
Strategic Contracts
Contracts with good property developers were kept, while contracts with weaker developers were voided. The company moved its premises to Chelmsford, ensuring a more strategic and beneficial location for growth.
Marketing Transformation
The marketing department was transformed with the recruitment of Jannaire Faulkner, marking a significant change for the company. This overhaul led to enhanced marketing strategies and broader outreach.
Recruitment Expansion
Recruitment took on a whole new level. The company started to recruit from a wider net of candidates, which spurred the business onto new heights and facilitated its rapid expansion.

2014
New Headquarters
In January 2014, we moved our headquarters to Chelmsford, Essex, providing a stable base for our expanding operations.
Industry Recognition
As the company grew in stature within the industry, it started to branch out, gaining significant recognition
European Exhibitions
Exhibitions were held around Europe, including major cities such as London and Athens, showcasing the company's offerings and expertise.
Expanding Client Base
Our client base started to change dramatically. Initially, it was 90% UK-centric, but by the end of 2014, 60% of our clients were overseas investors.
Overseas Investors
The shift towards overseas investors marked a significant change, highlighting the company's growing international appeal and reputation.

2015
Global Exhibitions
In 2015, our exhibitions around the world continued, with Dubai added to the list along with twice-a-year exhibitions at the Excel Centre in London.
Office Relocation
Due to our expanding team, we moved the office to the oldest building in Chelmsford, The Dolls House, a classic Tudor building.
The Birth of FW Lettings
Our lettings business, FW Lettings, was born in 2015. We noticed that many clients had great properties but were let down by their agents, prompting us to start this new venture.
Building Strong Foundations
We only took on a small handful of lettings initially to get the foundations right before we really started to build the business.

2016
New Leadership
In 2016, two key personnel joined the company: Jack Percival and Paul Tillett.
Jack Percival's Rise
Jack Percival, our now Sales Director, started as a broker and worked his way up the ranks through sheer hard work and dedication.
Paul Tillett's Contribution
Paul Tillett, an ex-FCA-regulated broker who recently retired, came out of retirement to help build the company and take it to the next level.
Valuable Contributions
Paul brought a wealth of experience and wisdom to the team, proving invaluable to Flambard Williams over the coming years.

2017
Our Award Success Begins
2017 marked the start of our awards success. We entered various awards and won in our first year, including Best Agent and Best Agency.
Best Agent Award
The Best Agent award was given to Martyn Taylor, who won this coveted award through total dedication to his clients.
Final Chelmsford Move
We moved to a larger office in The Aquarium building in Chelmsford. This expansion accommodated our growing team and was our final move before relocating to London.
Best Agency/Marketing


2018
Award-Winning Year
2018 was a remarkable year for awards at our company. We won three awards at the International Property Awards show, including Best Marketing, Best Agent, and Best Agency. Additionally, we won Best Stand at our exhibition at the Excel Centre in London and Best International Agent in UAE.
Continued Growth Amidst Challenges
Despite the negative economic backdrop of Brexit, the lettings side of t
