    Sarah Ford - Sales Progressor
    Sarah was born North Devon and moved away in her early 20's to Dorset for a few years but it wasn't long until she moved back having missed the beautiful countryside and beaches that North Devon offers. Throughout her whole career she has always been customer focused from her previous roles in hospitality, estate agents, and banking and thrives on giving that personal touch. In her spare time Sarah enjoys long walks with her dog, spending time as a family with her son and partner, long summer days on the beach and having time in the kitchen baking.
