About Us

Patrick founded Purple Frog, whilst studying at the University of Birmingham, from where he graduated in 2007 in Commerce. 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 labs Hugo and Babe.

She's a good doggy, yes she is. Yes she is. Yes. She. Is. Suchagooddoggy. Except when she's stealing your sandwiches.

Sabrina's extensive expertise in the student accommodation market is always put to good use as she heads up the Ops team, who look after applications, contracts, council tax, utilities and client accounts. Outside work Sabrina can be found with her two boys and following Birmingham City; she’s only missed a handful of games both home and away in over 15 years - yes she is mad!

Shaun takes the lead on Project Management dealing with everything from simple interior design to complete renovation of your property. 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 whose knowledge of the student market is extensive. He loves helping our tenants find the right home and keeping our landlords up to date.

Nadine oversees property sales. If you are looking to invest or would like to sell your property, Nadine is your woman! If she won a million pounds she would buy a house for a homeless person. Which is lovely.

With over 12 years under her belt (yes, that does make her the office oracle), Claire is the longest-serving member of the team - and possibly the most unflappable. She keeps our finances watertight and our HR game strong, ensuring everything runs smoother than a freshly balanced budget. When she's not juggling spreadsheets and staff policies, she's a multitasking mum, dedicated bookworm, animal whisperer, and seasoned camper - she's pitched more tents than most of us have typed emails. She thrives in the summer, powered by sunshine, strong coffee, and a good novel. If you need wisdom, a reality check, or a campsite recommendation, she's your go-to.

Paul is our Branch Director 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!

Beckie is our Operations Manager, she's here to make sure everything contract related runs smoothly. 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.

Bec is our experienced Operations Administrator working in our Head office. She specializes in setting up and completing tenancy contracts and deals with any tenant queries relating to your paperwork. Bec is originally from Australia and is currently learning to speak German. In her free time, she enjoys reading and playing Sudoku. Her passion for helping others and her strong work ethic make her an invaluable asset to the team.

Liz is the newest member of the Operations team, she is currently learning all things related to tenancy contracts. Liz seems to be after Beckie's crown as pasta queen, so obsessed she eats it at least five time a week!

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. Maisie works part time Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. 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, Tom is your man; with 3 years Property experience in Birmingham City Centre he is knowledgeable on Property lettings. His interests are football and Skiing but being a new Dad, these have taken a backseat to fatherhood; however, this doesn't stop him keeping up with his favourite football team, Wolves!

Harvey is our Lettings Consultant based at the Selly Oak branch, where he’s the first point of contact for both landlords and tenants. His role focuses on handling new tenancy leads, arranging and conducting viewings, matching students with the right homes, and guiding them through the initial stages of setting up their tenancy. A trained barber by background, Harvey brings a people-first approach to lettings—whether he’s securing your ideal student pad or chatting footy on the doorstep. He’s played football at a decent level (including against Darren Bent, which he brings up suspiciously often) and is a proud Liverpool supporter—allegedly since before they won the league!
