Meet the Team

Andrew Kay (LLB Hons)

Director

Andrew is one of the founding directors and shareholders of Arkade Property and currently heads the commercial property department, which deals with the sale and letting of commercial property and the sale and acquisition of businesses as a going concern. His vast knowledge of the legal aspects of these transactions in addition to his experience of Birmingham property generally, enables him to provide a service of the highest standard across the West Midlands

Training

Andrew Kay was educated at Solihull School and studied law at Manchester University (1979 – 1982,) where he was awarded the International Law prize, and Chester Law College (1982 – 1983) before joining Blakemores Solicitors in 1983. He subsequently joined Sydney Mitchell Solicitors where he became a partner, specialising in residential and commercial property law.

Personal

Andrew is married to Fiona and has three beautiful daughters (Ellen, Roisin and Danielle.) Ellen and Roisin are now doctors having studied medicine at Bristol and Nottingham Universities respectively and Danielle is at Leeds University doing a masters in physiology. Fiona is a consultant and heads the matrimonial department at Weightmans Solicitors, Birmingham.

Much of Andrew's spare time is spent despairing over the form of his beloved Burnley Football Club who he has followed since the late 1960s. The rest is spent losing golf balls over sundry West Midlands golf courses or cycling (very slowly) between cake stops. In his youth he played football for Manchester University and junior county tennis for Greater Manchester.

Sybilla Rose (B.A. Hons)

Director

Sybilla soared at a meteoric rate through the ranks from lettings manager to her current status as one of Arkade Property's directors.

She is our company's fixer and if there is an important issue or issue to be considered it will undoubtedly be brought to Sybilla's attention and then quickly resolved and handled with her trademark charm.

Personal

Away from the office Sybilla enjoys playing tennis, going to the gym, open water swimming and is now PADI qualified with many places she would like to visit and enjoy the beautiful oceans and seas on our planet. As Sybilla loves the Jewellery Quarter she enjoys visiting the sights and exploring the wonderful variety of bars and restaurants in the City Centre.

James Clapham (B.A. Hons)

Director

There are few more focused or determined sales directors than James.

Having started as a lettings negotiator he has worked developing an encyclopedic knowledge of the city that has, time and again, proven priceless to Arkade clients.

Personal

James is a keen hockey player and much less talented golfer, with his aim still remaining to beat Andrew ‘the bandit’ Kay just once at golf. He is also an active member of the Solihull School alumni and old boys association.

Wesley Moreton

Property Manager

The man who's solved a million problems, Wesley is the person to resolve and assist any repairs and maintenance required for Landlords and Tenants to disappear as quickly as they appear.

A gentleman and outstanding professional, Wesley has become a cult figure among Birmingham's finest tradesman because of his dedication to getting the very best remedies for Arkade's clients.

Personal

Wesley enjoys relaxing days watching films, attending to his gardening and going around Birmingham City Centre to try various restaurants and bars and sample their wonderful food and beverages.

Justin Rose

Business Administrator

Justin, the man with the hardest working smile in Estate Agency.

Our business administrator positively dazzled us when he first came to Arkade by rapidly absorbing every single element of our business we could throw at him. Now as our administrator chief in Sales and Lettings, the entire office goes to him for the right answers to the toughest questions.

Justin's is the first face who'll greet you as you enter our offices.

Personal

This fella is rated as one of the most ferociously competitive defenders in his Sunday football league!
