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.

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.
