Vicky’s previous roles included Office Management and Contract Co-ordination before she joined The House Surveyors in 2024.

Originally from Hertfordshire, she lived in Greece for 5 years in the 80’s and then moved to Worcestershire where she met her husband.

Vicky has many years’ experience in office management, and pride herself in the rapport shebuilds with clients, colleagues and other service providers.   Customer Service is high on herlist of priorities, especially in an industry such as this where buying a property is such a big commitment

Vicky has a grown up daughter and two German shepherd dogs, a breed which she has had for many years – one is a rescue who is quite a handful but she loves walking with them every day.

Ursula grew up and started work in her home city of Worcester as a PA in various sectors including the NHS, manufacturing/industrial, tech/software development and the local authority.

Since then Ursula has worked with Michael Jones Consultant Chartered Surveyor, and joined The House Surveyors Team with him to provide continuity for his long-term vocation of producing professional RICS survey reports to a wide range of home purchasers.

She loves spending her downtime with family, friends and her two dogs – a “bonkers boxer and a very vocal collie”.  Ursula spends the majority of the week working at home, if you speak to her on the phone you may hear one or both of these pooches in the background – she apologies for this in advance!
