Our Team

Garrington has a national team of handpicked experts, carefully selected from across the property industry for their proven negotiation skills, extensive experience, local specialist insight and enviable network of contacts.

As an organisation we offer over 120 years combined experience, yet a dynamic and relationship focused approach to successfully sourcing and acquiring the finest property and surpassing client expectations.

All of Garrington’s search consultants live and work in the regions they serve. Without exception they all have a minimum of five years industry experience and extensive contacts to assist clients.

Phil Martin

Phil has a career background in international business management at senior board level as an Information Technology executive, having held senior IS/IT roles with several global companies including IBM, and been the Vice President responsible for Information Services throughout Europe and Asia within Reebok International. Other roles have seen Phil based in Frankfurt, Geneva and Venice.

Phil has extensive experience in the residential property market in a number of regions of England. He originates from Cumbria, is based in Cheshire, and offers a wide range of contacts and connections in a variety of property related professions and disciplines, and a wealth of local knowledge of the whole North West region.

During Phil’s work in recent years on behalf of Garrington clients, he has purchased many prime residential properties ranging from luxury city centre apartments in Manchester to multi-million pound country houses in Cheshire’s “golden triangle”, central Lancashire, Shropshire and the Lake District.

Specific examples include one of the very few lakeside properties on the favoured eastern shore of Windermere, an idyllic country house with literary connections overlooking Coniston Water, a classic Georgian farmhouse with land in North Shropshire, a quintessential extended Cheshire barn conversion, and a small equestrian estate in a hidden corner of Lancashire.

Phil has frequently been able to source properties either “pre” or “off market”, ensuring that his clients are often the first to gain access to a home they would not have discovered without his professional help and advice.
