AGM 2020 - All our teams gathered together to attend our 2020 AGM to
enhance our team working and plan for the year ahead.
I set up my own independent brand of agency 10 years ago in the belief that I could do better than my competitors. I also felt strongly that I would offer something much better to customers than working for someone else - so much so I left a very safe position to go it alone!
10 years on with 5 branches, a 60 strong team and despite a few more grey hairs I am still as excited about getting better each and every day.
I despise mediocrity and the two things that make me tick are building a brilliant company that people are proud to work for and a brand that customers keep doing business with and shout about to their friends.
We know our brand is our people. Our people make us better than any other agent. Today we’re a 60+ strong team strong team and we’re all about being friendly but fiercely efficient. Find out more about our teams and who you will be doing business with on the Our People page.
If you have feedback about our teams or individual people, we would love to hear via 'Your Feedback'.
Watch our company video and learn in 100 seconds how we are all about customer experience, exceptional marketing and how we do business differently to give our customers the edge.
Do you want to be part of a brand you believe in, a team you love working with and a company that values you? We expect the highest standards of service and the highest standards of performance for our customers but boy do we relish making Julian Wadden a Great Place to Work!

WE THINK LOCAL
We have big ideas and ambitions as estate agents, but we always implement them locally. Our local communities are important to us. Who we buy our services from, where we recruit from, who we fundraise for or sponsor are carefully selected. We aim to act local and give back to our local communities.
