Family-run estate agency Gascoines is celebrating its 70th anniversary.
Founded by Doug Gascoine, three generations of the family have since carried on the legacy, including one of the current partners, Luke Saywell, who is Doug’s grandson.
Gascoines has been at the heart of the Southwell community since its establishment and now has an additional office in Ravenshead.
Luke said: “We’ve embraced many changes over the years.
“I’m proud of the progress we’ve made since my grandfather started Gascoines — from new technology like virtual tours and drones, to growing and retaining our highly-skilled team, all of which makes the property process more positive and efficient for our customers.”
Rachel Gascoine, wife of the late Doug, said: “Watching the business grow from strength to strength over the last 70 years has been remarkable. Much has changed over the years, but the important things haven’t. Our traditional values have underpinned our generational success, and everyone that visits has benefited from our expertise. This has seen us support customers through their property journey.”
Gascoines has consistently supported the local community, sponsoring local organisations including Southwell Rugby Club, as well as being present at key events like late-night shopping and the annual Southwell Ploughing Match, and fundraising for regional and national causes.
