Meet Sophie, our Assistant Operations Manager at Somerset Estates
What is your job at Somerset Estates, and what is your background?
I’m the Assistant Operations Manager, supporting the day to day running of the business. I’ve spent nearly seven years working in Central London’s property market. I started out in a West End estate agency where I learned the ropes and now I’m fortunate to be working in the exciting world of luxury property.
What does a typical day look like for you?
No two days are ever quite the same, which is what makes it so rewarding. I provide operational support across the team, ensuring everything runs efficiently and seamlessly. That means everything from strategic oversight and team coordination to hands on problem solving, whatever is needed to keep the business operating at its best.
What is your favourite aspect of working at Somerset Estates?
The staff. It’s a pleasure to work with such a talented and supportive team. Everyone brings something different to the table, and that makes all the difference in a fast-paced environment.
If there’s one thing homeowners or clients should know, what would it be?
That we genuinely care. At Somerset Estates, we take the time to understand our clients and how they live. Their preferences, their priorities, their pace. We manage every detail of their home with that in mind. It’s not just about fixing problems. It’s about providing a service that is thoughtful and tailored.
Tell us something we might not know about you.
Outside of work, I love to cook and stay active. I’m a regular at spin classes. I also enjoy discovering new places with our dog and am on a constant mission to hunt down the best coffee in London.
Current favourites include:
