Dawn’s journey with Nock Deighton began in 1985, when she joined the firm through a Youth Training Scheme, gaining hands-on experience and learning the intricacies of the property market from the ground up. Her career took a pivotal turn in 1990, when she joined the newly established Telford branch and discovered her passion for the lettings sector.
Over the past three decades, Dawn has been instrumental in building and expanding Nock Deighton's lettings and property management division, which now successfully manages over 750 properties across Shropshire and Worcestershire. Her deep knowledge of the private rented sector and her proactive response to the evolving legislative landscape have been key to ensuring that the company’s systems and services remain fully compliant, robust, and landlord focused.
In 2008, Dawn was appointed as a Director, taking a more active role in the strategic leadership of the business. Over the years, she has helped steer the company through significant economic and housing market fluctuations and has played a central role in the continued expansion of Nock Deighton’s professional and property-related services.
“I am honoured to step into the role of Managing Director,” said Dawn. “Having grown with the company over the past 40 years, I’ve seen firsthand how adaptability, client care, and strong values underpin everything we do. I look forward to leading the business into its next chapter, continuing our tradition of excellence and innovation.”
Michael Nettleton, Chairman of Nock Deighton, commented: “Dawn’s promotion to Managing Director is a reflection of her exceptional leadership, unwavering commitment, and deep understanding of both our business and the customers we serve. Her drive and focus have always made a significant impact, and we are excited for the future of Nock Deighton with her at the helm.”
Dawn’s appointment marks a new era for Nock Deighton as it continues to build on its strong heritage while embracing future opportunities in the property market.
