THE HORIZON TEAM
Horizon Lets is a disruptive start-up company created by landlords, for landlords. As landlords ourselves, we were unsatisfied with the high fees charged by lettings agencies and the poor level of service provided to all parties.
So, we set up our own lettings agency! We hope you’ll love what we do – we are always transparent, always low cost and always focused on providing tenants and landlords with an unrivalled experience.
We became landlords with properties nationwide after catching the infectious property bug. We are proud to provide high quality living accommodation, allowing tenants to create their dream home.
Meet The Team
Alex Roley
After working several sales and lettings jobs Alex followed his passion for property taking the plunge to become a full-time property developer/Landlord. After many successful projects across Sheffield, he is now keen to help other Landlords in their property journey.
With a large new build site part of his growing portfolio, Alex enjoys learning the trails.
Alex is a regular speaker at a monthly property network meeting in Sheffield where he presents each month a Lettings update – which is never dull considering the constant changes in legislation and as the property cycle in Sheffield reaches a climax, and the city continues to provide great property investment opportunities, there will always be plenty to discuss… and he’s not shy of getting people the real version of the good, the bad and the downright ugly!
Chris Browne
Upon leaving the military, Chris returned to university for a Masters in Building Surveying to evolve what had been years of being an enthusiastic amateur landlord. Instead of opting for university accommodation Chris bought an ugly duckling refurb project and lived in it while at university – the best way to learn perhaps!
This was the start of a journey spanning over a decade of purchasing property & completing multiple renovation projects.
Chris has stuck to his “Single Let” strategy mainly utilising Permitted Development – there are no bandwagons or attempt at shiny pennies here with more creative strategies! Chris has gone on to complete bigger projects, for himself and clients – the worse the property condition, the more exciting the opportunity usually. Chris is a Director of the lettings agency, while also the founder of construction and block management companies so despite not diversifying his property strategy, he has a few businesses with his “boring Single Lets”!
As the founder of The Horizon Group, Chris enjoys working in various parts of the property industry as he seeks to make Horizon synonymous with quality service, reliability and a customer-focussed approach within property.
Andrea Wild
Since moving to the South Yorkshire countryside from “down south” Andrea has developed a deep love for the Great Outdoors, as she is taken for a walk every morning by her dogs of various sizes… and various attitudes to early morning walks!
A landlord herself since 2001, ever keen cook and a regular member of various charity groups, Andrea loves being part of the busy local community and has worked in a primary school kitchen and running her own catering company previously – spinning plates, sometimes literally, is a regular occurrence for her!
Andrea has been with Horizon Lets from the very start, making the Lettings Manager role very much her own and overseeing the operations of the company – it’s lucky she enjoys being busy!
Samantha Measham
Samantha has worked within the lettings industry since 2010 and has done a large array of roles in this time. From working her way up from an apprenticeship to being a Senior Negotiator with Chesterfield-based letting agents, Samantha really knows the rental market like the back of her hand!
Throughout her career in lettings and working in various roles, she has experienced almost every scenario – therefore there really isn’t anything that fazes her! She is a mum of a four-year-old daughter and an owner of a border collie who thinks he is a child too; therefore away from the desk, she’s always kept on her toes.
As the Lettings Manager she takes the lead on the day to day operations at Horizon Lets; Samantha has been instrumental in the growing business that is Horizon and her main focus is to continue to the service we offer to our Landlords.
With her passion for property and enthusiasm for sharing her knowledge, Samantha loves chatting to prospective landlords and seeing where we can help.
Shelley Theaker
Although born and raised in Sheffield, Shelley spent several years working overseas before owning and running a hotel on Scotland’s beautiful west coast.
During this time Shelley bought and sold properties, became a landlord and indulged her love of a property ‘makeover’. Her experience as a landlord and DIY renovator meant a move into working in the property world was the logical next step. Upon selling the hotel business Shelley returned home to Sheffield and set about using her experience in lettings to create her own boutique lettings agency.
Shelley now has a wealth of experience in residential and student letting and is ARLA/Propertymark qualified with an in-depth knowledge of lettings legislation. After establishing loyal clients in her own agency, she made the decision to join the Horizon Lets team in 2021 and has not looked back.
Passionate about property – and about helping people, the role of Lettings Manager at Horizon Lets is the perfect job for Shelley… “I love working for Horizon Lets. This is a truly independent letting agency with a focus on great customer service and the flexibility to act quickly in all situations”
Shelley’s local knowledge is second to none as she knows Sheffield like the back of her hand! She’s often spotted walking her two dogs on the Bole Hills or sipping wine somewhere in Kelham Island – and generally making the most of the fabulous city.
