Away from the office, Karen keeps active at her local gym, where you’ll likely find her in a Zumba class she absolutely loves, or back on the badminton court after rediscovering the sport following a 15-year break. Her go-to lunch is a jacket potato with cheese, she’d describe herself as a Mojito – refreshing and full of zest – and her childhood dream was to be a rockstar. Her first gig was seeing Paul Young in Birmingham on her 16th birthday with her two best friends – friendships that have happily stood the test of time.

I found Perry bishop Stroud to be very kind helpful and professional. They also brought me up to date with the new tenancy rules coming in soon which was really helpful. They found new tenants for the property, they did several viewings, gave me lots of information about applicants and gave me the time to consider them without putting any pressure on me. Very much appreciated.

Excellent service from Perry Bishop. A huge thank you to Jade, our Case Manager, for her professionalism, clear communication, and constant support throughout the process.
