The Cleaver Chasers cycled from Milan to Venice
In October,
our team of Cleaver Chasers cycled from Milan to Venice to raise money for
Women V Cancer. They covered 355 kilometers in three days, but not before
raising over £9,000 to support Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust, Ovarian Cancer
Action and Breast Cancer Care. Some £3,600 of this impressive total was raised
by the Charity Auction held back in June at Wokingham Town hall; a truly
fantastic evening and incredible generosity from the local companies who
donated all of the fabulous prizes.
A huge
thanks once again to everyone who donated to support our ladies and this
wonderful cause. You can read more about The Cleaver Chaser’s Milan to Venice

Cleaver Property Management purchased JPA
In November
2019, Cleaver Property Management purchased JPA, and took over the management
of their Berkshire-based property portfolio. The handover is currently in
progress, with our Property Manager Louise working alongside Peter Boltwood (of
JPA) to ensure a smooth-as-possible transition. Martin Cleaver said: “The
purchase has come at the right time for Cleaver Property Management, falling in
line with us expanding the business. We’re confident that it’s the right fit,
both geographically and in terms of continuing the high-quality service
delivered by JPA.”
We said goodbye to staff members and welcomed new ones
We said goodbye to a long serving and valued member of staff last year; Matthew Daniell had been with Cleaver Property Management for fifteen years, and we sadly but proudly waved him off on his new venture back in September. With that, we welcomed Taryn Paroni-Barry to the team, and safe to say we love having her! And in line with the business expansion, we’ve also welcome Property Manager’s Kamal Jalil and Louise Gibbons, Property Manager Administrator Saffron Nixon, and Account Manager Sylwester Wojcik to the team. The family is certainly growing!
We launched Cleaver Property Services
Throughout the course of last year, we phased out Cleaver Property Lettings so that we could focus more time and resource on the core of the business: Cleaver Property Management. In its place, we have introduced Cleaver Property Services, which will (predominantly) assist our Property Managers with the undertaking of regular risk assessments. Such as Asbestos Surveys, Health Safety & Fire Risk Assessments, and Reinstatement Cost Assessments (Insurance Valuations).
We got a new website
If you’re reading this, you may have noticed that we have a new website. Thanks to Digity of Wokingham and Flamingo Writing of Reading, we have given cleaverproperty.co.uk a full face lift! Throughout the site you will find information for RTM, RMCs and Property Developers, case studies and testimonials for a sneak peek at some of the work we’ve been doing, and a ‘meet the team’ page, so you can put faces to names. There’s also a resources section where you can download various useful guides and browse our FAQs, and of course our brand new Cleaver News page.
We had a lot of fun!
We think we
do team days pretty well at Cleaver Property Management, and 2019 was no
exception. We headed to the Battle Proms for our summer event, and tried our
hand at Knockout Escape Rooms for one of our team building days. We’ve been
bowling, thrown two hen-dos (congratulations to Kerry and Agata who both tied
the knot in 2019!), had a lovely staff meeting followed by a meal at Oakley Court Hotel, and topped it all off with a fabulous Christmas party courtesy of Best
Parties Ever.

We sponsored a football team
I know, we really did have a busy 2019. On top of all that, we sponsored a football team! Twyford and Ruscombe FC is managed by our very own Mark Houghton, and the Cleaver Property Management name is now proudly on the shirt. We even made it into the paper with this one (and with the charity auction we held, too)!
We welcomed new clients
We would of course like to give a huge, warm welcome to the various new clients that have come on board with us throughout 2019, including those that were formerly part of JPA. We look forward to working with you all in 2020 and hopefully the years that follow. With that, also a huge thanks and Happy New Year to all of the loyal clients who remain part of Cleaver Property Management as we head into a new decade.
