                        Why do you enjoy working for Principia?
                        I love that there is a diverse and impressive “group” of industry knowledge and experience within the Principia Team, which is shared, and so we evolve and develop naturally.  With constant legislative and regulatory reforms, professional support and colleague friendship is imperative to meet the industry and client challenges. For me Principia feels like the epitome of a “working family”.

                        Joanna Lumley as she is intelligent, compassionate, and so very funny.  We all need a Patsy Stone (Absolutely Fabulous) character in our world, as humour and laughter, both bonds and heals. 
                        Favourite thing you like to do?
                        Any chance I get to watch a classic is my natural “go-to”, but I also adore flowers which are my only creative outlet.  Jane Packer is my inspiration.

                                                        Why do you enjoy working for Principia?
                                                        As someone who is new to the management side of property, I enjoy working with Principia because I’m constantly learning and able to challenge myself.
                                                        An interesting fact about you?
                                                        I was a baby model and had some very cute pictures taken by an advertising agency in my younger years.

                                                        Be organised and take it seriously, but don’t take it to heart. Problems will come up but there’s almost always a solution.
                                                        Who would play you in a film and why?
                                                        John David Washington – mostly because Denzel is his dad, but also he’s a great actor who goes a bit unnoticed.

                                                            Jinesh

                                                            I am an accomplished Property Manager of hands-on experience, known for my client-focused approach, comprehensive estate management skills, effective communication, adaptability, and a genuine passion for enhancing the quality of life for residents and the value of the properties entrusted to their care.

                                                            Why do you enjoy working for Principia?
                                                            In summary, what I enjoy about working at Principia is the dynamic and inclusive culture, the brilliant and collaborative colleagues, the commitment to growth and sustainability, and the opportunity to be part of meaningful work. It's a place where I can continuously learn, grow, and make a difference, and that's what makes it a truly exceptional place to work.

                                                            I once had an opportunity to Play Tabla (musical instrument) with Zakir Hussain.

                                                            The best property management tip in brief is to priorities open and effective communication with both residents and Clients. Clear communication helps prevent misunderstandings, builds trust, and fosters positive relationships, ultimately leading to smoother property management and better outcomes for all parties involved.
                                                            Who would play you in a film and why?
                                                            If I had to choose an actor to play me in a movie, I think Zach Galifianakis would be an entertaining choice. Not only does he have a great sense of humor and comedic timing, but his ability to bring humor to any role would make for an entertaining portrayal!

Since joining Principia as a junior accountant 5 years ago, Gareth is now the Group Financial Controller, a demonstration of his capability as an accountant, and a display of the trust the owners have placed in him. Gareth is in the final stages of obtaining his CIMA designation having completed all of his exams, all supported by the company. Gareth is also the Group Charity Co-ordinator and has successfully organised skydiving and abseiling events for his colleagues, raising thousands of pounds for our newly partnered charity, Orchid.

                                                                                            It’s a great modern business that has a good balance of hard work, professionalism and employee welfare. In Principia the focus is on the customer. We concentrate on continuously improving our methods and processes to ensure our high standards are maintained and improved. Having served in the Army for many years, I was fortunate to join a firm with similar principles and such an immensely friendly atmosphere.

                                                                                            Whilst in the army, I was once shot at whilst a passenger in a Chinook helicopter. Accountancy is altogether a safer profession.

Here he gained experience managing small properties and offering a personal touch to his clients. As the size of properties he managed grew not only did he manage the bigger quantity of workload but more importantly was still able to hold on to the belief the client was still the most important part of managing a property and therefore still offering a service where they were listened to and their views where an integral part of the successful running of his previous place of work. We are fortunate that Andrew has joined us and brings with his experience and his ability to offer our clients a personal experience when being dealt with.
