Summary
I very much enjoy my role as a Development Manager for Firstport at Blenheim Court in Bromley and have done so for the past 8 years.
My partner and I recently purchased a property at Westgate on Sea mainly for weekend and holiday use as living on site as a residential manager can sometimes necessitate a need for an escape! We both like the area so much, I am looking to relocate permanently and moving forward with Firstport would seem the ideal solution professionally.
