Maximillian Z De Kment CEO - Lovett International & Saxe Coburg

I was educated privately at Grace Dieu Manor Preparatory School and then at Ratcliffe College, but however after ‘O’ levels I was forced to leave due to my mother running out of funds and hence started my journey as a tea boy in an Estate Agents in Hampton Court. I have worked in every single department of Estate Agency, commercial, residential and land from that day to now. I am a keen sportsman, I have played provincial rugby and Junior LTA Tour Tennis.  I now sponsor/coach my children to show jump on the affiliated BSJA circuit.

It was always my intention to keep the agency small and specialised as having seven children (two step children) I wanted to see them grow up and not be an absent father as many of my business piers and colleagues.

In 1989 I founded an Estate Agency called Carrington’s Residential who were based in Richmond, Teddington, Kingston and Hampton (South West London). After trading for 8 years, I was persuaded to sell the business for a substantial 7 figure sum. With these monies I then went about building a portfolio of development properties which had a rental income. I could be best described as a careful developer (if that exists!) Every property that I bought had to be rentable and had to have a form of development potential. I then set about maximising this potential and putting in planning applications to re-develop the properties. Once the permissions had been gained, the properties were then re-developed. This method of careful development enabled me at the height to own 497 rental producing properties.

Julian Hewlett Area Manager

I am the Area Sales Director for Lovett International, overseeing all branches across the BH postcode where I deal with all aspects of residential and commercial sales. I have 24 years of local estate agency experience within both corporate and independent agents. I have also worked for a local development company specialising in land acquisitions and new home sales. I joined Lovett International with a view to building a team where customer service is the main focus, and to give honest advice that help people move. I believe we can be market-leaders with innovative ideas combined with traditional hard-work. We have gone from strength to strength, helping people with a friendly professional service.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my two daughters and I am also a keen sportsman and do a variety of sports.

Lucy Sinclair PA to the CEO

I started working for Lovett International in October 2012. Before joining Lovett I was in a customer service role, but it always had been my passion to pursue a career in Estate Agency, which is why I jumped at the opportunity to join Lovett International. I have lived in Canford Cliffs / Sandbanks all my life and love the area I live and work in. With my knowledge of the local area and the skills I have gained since starting with Lovett, I feel that I can give 100% to my job and always strive to do my best. I enjoy building a strong relationship with all my clients, giving the best possible level of customer service I can. In my spare time I enjoy spending time socialising with my friends, fine foods and of course shopping!

Suzi Maulkerson Property Maintenance Manager

My working background is largely in Business Administration and mainly in the construction industry.  I decided on a career change to sales a few years ago, selling advertising for a publishing company and looking after regional equine magazines which I loved, especially having horses myself.

Then, after relocating to Bournemouth and having a temporary position working for a housing association which gave me some great experience, I found my position here at Lovett Estate Agents as their Property Maintenance Manager. It’s a role I love and I have been with the company since August 2013.

I love my job and my colleagues, it is definitely a very busy and varied role and I look forward to a long and happy future here.
