About us - Andrew Morris Hereford Estate Agent, Valuers and Auctioneers

Andrew Morris

Owner and Founder, Herefordian Andrew went straight into Estate Agency after leaving school in 1967.

Andrew founded his company in 1986 following training at Russell Baldwin & Bright and then in partnership at Stooke Hill & Co, and has now clocked up more than 44 years experience in the trade.

This length of service hasn’t slowed him down, he still takes total responsibility for the firm - obtaining instructions, marketing the business and, of course, promoting the new Crest Nicholson homes site at The Furlongs.

Along the road there have been some very interesting jobs including selling roofless country cottages overlooking the River Wye and auctioning a house with 2 donkeys included!  His dedication has also seen him work overtime with solicitors to see people move within 2 or 3 days!

What has kept Andrew in the business for so long is the enjoyment he gets when a contract exchanges and both the vendor and purchaser are happy that the sale is legal and binding. 

Submersing himself in the community he has, over 44 years in the industry, received great support from people across the county. He likes to be relied upon for his expertise and enthusiasm and knowledge of the market, working hard within the local community for the benefit of local people.

A down-to-earth local person, who as well as selling houses is Chief Executive of Westfields Football Club - Hereford’s number one senior amateur club - he also enjoys golf and loves travelling with his wife, family and friends.

Rebecca Morris

Andrew’s daughter Rebecca joined the team only at the start of this year as Sales & Marketing Manager.  Rebecca ensures the best profile of the company is represented at all times whether it’s on the website, in advertising or meeting our valued customers. Rebecca is also heavily involved in the sales of the new Crest Nicholson homes site at The Furlongs. 

Prior to joining Andrew Morris Estate Agents, Rebecca worked for 7 years at allpay, the UK’s leading payment solutions provider, as Marketing Communications Manager.

Her favourite part of Estate Agency is seeing a customer through the whole process, from taking their interest following an advert or on the website, to showing them around the property; then negotiating the best price for both them and the vendor; and finally handing them the keys to the property of their dreams!

Rebecca is extremely organised and a real team player who always looks on the bright side of life!

Rebecca has been a Young Enterprise Business Advisor for 4 years to Herefordshire College of Technology.  She won Best Business Advisor in the West Midlands in 2008/09. 

A fitness fanatic, Rebecca also has her own Exercise classes that are mainly dance based.  As a long-standing member & choreographer of Hereford Musical Theatre Company she has danced in many great musical productions at Hereford Courtyard Theatre over the last 13 years.  She has even made an appearance on Strictly Come Dancing - It Takes Two where she danced the Cha-cha-cha with Lionel Blair prior to the live show of Strictly Come Dancing.

Sandra Morris

Andrew’s wife, Sandra has supported the Andrew Morris business since it began in 1986. She had a 15 year break working as a Higher Level Teaching Assistant at Whitecross High School in Hereford where she supported numerous students to achieve their academic best. 

She returned on a part time basis in August 2008 and left Whitecross in July 2009.

Sandra manages the money at Andrew Morris Estate Agents, taking care of the company finances, maintaining a smooth and efficient working environment for staff and customers. A born organiser and conscientious people-person, Sandra is a “Jill-of-all-trades” and can also be seen on the front desk and going out on viewings. 

Sandra enjoys working as part of the fantastic team here at Andrew Morris Estate Agents, seeing the delight for clients when their sale or purchase goes through. 

Outside of work she loves spending time with her family, socialising with friends taking holidays in England and abroad where she can catch up on her reading.  Sandra also likes to keep fit by swimming, aerobics and putting on her beloved tap shoes!

Debbie Smith

Debbie provides an excellent PA/secretarial service to the company, assisting with IT issues and reception duties when needed and monitoring the business when Andrew is on holiday.

Debbie originally joined the company in February 1996 but left in December 1997 to have her daughter.  She returned in November 2005 and hasn’t stopped typing since! 

 
Debbie previously worked as an Assistant Medical Secretary where she picked up great attention to detail.  She enjoys all of her work, as she is a friendly and helpful person who always endeavours to do the best she can.

Her spare time is spent with family, keeping fit on the Wii Fit and she is a dab hand on a sewing machine!

Craig Sewell

Our newest member of the team, Craig, joined Andrew Morris Estate Agents in December 2010.
A dedicated people person, Craig is the first point of contact for our customers, he greets everyone politely whether in the office or over the phone. 

Craig assists with the marketing of the business, keeping the office presentable and all records and customer facing material up-to-date.  His favourite part of the job though is supporting the arrangement of valuations, arranging and conducting viewings and negotiating offers.

When not working hard selling houses Craig has a passion for sport, which he studied at Leeds Metropolitan University.  He plays football for Wellington F.C. and supports Liverpool F.C.

A local to the area but not afraid to travel, Craig swapped the Hereford countryside for the bright lights of New York for 2 months!
