About Us

Patrick is one of the founders of purple frog, he graduated in 2007 alongside Greg with a 2:1 in Business from the University of Birmingham. As part of his degree he was required to write and submit a business plan and decided he may as well see it through! Patrick spends time in each of our 4 offices and is often accompanied by his black lab Hugo.

They are good doggies, yes they are. Yes they are. Yes. they. are. Suchgooddoggies. Except when they're stealing your sandwiches.

Looking after clients with large portfolios means that Sabrina's extensive expertise in the student accommodation market is always put to good use. She also heads up the Ops team. Sabrina is a proud Birmingham City Football Club supporter and hasn't missed a home or away match in over 5 years!

Stephen has a wealth of experience selling investment property. His breadth of knowledge will help everyone from first timers to seasoned portfolio investors achieve their goals. In his youth, Stephen was a rock star in the 'West Coast psychedelic' band Soup which regularly gigged at the University of Birmingham Guild of Students bar.

Shaun is a stalwart of the company. His knowledge of the student letting market is extensive. Shaun studied sport studies at the University of Worcester so he knows what it's like to be in the shoes of our tenants. He's an affable character who loves helping our tenants find the right home and keeping our landlords up to date.

Zita has travelled along way to arrive at Purple Frog. She's originally from South Africa and has spent 15 years working in real estate in Spain. Now she's here in exotic Nottingham, she's helping tenants and landlords ensure their houses are on point. Totally unrelated, but if she was trapped in an elevator, she'd want to be stuck with Barrack Obama, as he's "inspiring and HOT, HOT, HOT". Watch out Michelle, you've got competition.

If she won a million pounds she would buy a house for a homeless person. Which is lovely.

Reece is here to help get your tenancy sorted. He's right on it, sorting contracts, making sure your right to rent documents are OK and answering any questions you might have. He's a massive Blues fan (though not as big a fan as Sabrina) When he was a little boy, he dreamed of winning the world cup, but has been hindered in this dream because he's not from Brazil.

Claire is the right hand woman to the Managing Director. She works part time Monday-Friday 9:30-2.30. Although weighing no more than the idea of a feather herself, she has expanded the collective Purple Frog waistline with her exceedingly good cakes.

Emma-Leigh is part of expanding Sales team managing the property sales process from start to finish for our clients. In her spare time, she is busy painting lovely paintings of 'nudes with colourful hair'.

Beckie is here to make sure that signing your contract is simple. She's part-time, between 9.00 am- 4.30 pm, Monday & Thursday and 9:30 am - 2:30 pm, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. If she could eat only one food for the rest of her life, it would be pasta. With all the different shapes, it's pretty much a different meal each time.

Hayley recently joined our operation team as one of the Senior Administration staff, and she is ready to spice things up, just like her love for spicy Caribbean food. She is on hand weekdays during office hours to help you with your tenancy enquires. With her beaming smile and shinning personality, it is no surprise she loves to spend her spare time raving and travelling.

Shania is smiley and friendly. That’s why she’s perfect. Sorry, that’s why she’s perfect for the job of helping you sort your tenancy agreement, making the process as smooth as possible for you! She claims not to remember her life as a child. Personally, the marketing team thinks its because she used to be a mermaid and has got sick of telling people that no, she’d never met Ariel or known any singing crabs.

Daniel is our friendly Property Manager in the Nottingham Office. He is a passionate sportsman, he plays football and is a keen cycle tourist and cross-country skier. His will probably be the first voice you hear, when you call the branch to speak to someone. Got a question? Daniel is your man.

Marcella joins the Purple Frog tribe all the way from the U.S.A! She looks after our Nottingham Landlords and tenants, ensuring everyone is happy and maintenance is up to scratch. Marcella once tried her hand at hair modelling on a Morning TV show but at 5ft tall and being dwarfed by everyone else on air, that dream was short lived. When she's not representing all the short people of the world, you can find her listening to her idol, Beyoncé.

Paul is our Senior Property Manager at the Birmingham office and is super knowledgeable on the Student Lettings market. If you ever find yourself with a sweet craving whilst in the office, Paul is your man! His desk is always the one with the chocolate and sweeties stash....not saying he'll share though!

Happy, smiley and friendly are three words that describe Maisie perfectly. That means she fits brilliantly into Purple Frog Selly Oak team, where she's busy putting these attributes to use, finding students their new homes from home. She also runs her own cake-making business and used to be an editor at a magazine, so you'll be sure there's no typos when she pipes on the 'Happy Birthday Grandma' frosting.

If you're looking for your new student place in Birmingham, Akash is your man. He's also training to be a gym instructor, so he can also tell you the difference between quads and glutes. Other than their relative word scores in Scrabble, of course.

You will meet Michael when you come to our Selly Oak office to book viewings (and hear him on the phone). He's also, rather aptly, a purple belt in Aikedo. That's the modern martial art of kicking ass but very gently.

If you need help finding the right student accommodation, come to Lauren. As well as keeping the lettings team organised, she'll help you book your viewings, so you can find a great place to live. Her spirit animal is a butterfly because she is determined to change and improve. 3. The superpower I would want is the ability to shape shift as you could change into anything whenever necessary.
