Our People
Experienced, local property experts across the Ribble Valley and wider areas.
Why Our Team Matters
Our team combines over 200 years of collective property experience across the Ribble Valley and East Lancashire. Russell brings more than 30 years of local market knowledge. Helen has spent 17 years navigating the nuances of our neighbourhood. Jim, Tom, and Angela each bring over 15 years of hands-on expertise. John founded Athertons in 1994 as a chartered surveyor, and Jim joined the family firm in 2019 with a decade of industry experience behind him.
We are RICS-accredited chartered surveyors, MNAEA-qualified negotiators, and ARLA property management professionals. That means you work with people who follow strict professional standards and industry best practice — not just sales people chasing a quick deal.
Whether you're selling a rural estate, buying a family home, or managing a rental property, our team knows your local market inside out. We handle your transaction with the personal attention it deserves, backed by the credentials and experience to get it right.
Meet the people who make Athertons work. Each brings deep local knowledge, professional qualifications, and a commitment to seamless transactions.
