Property Brokers is proud to announce the appointment of Leigh Miller as Regional Manager for Canterbury, recognising one of the company's most respected leaders as she steps into this significant leadership role.
Leigh will continue as Branch Manager for Rangiora and Kaikōura while taking on responsibility for leading the wider Canterbury region.
The appointment follows Tony Quayle stepping back from the Regional Manager role after many years of outstanding leadership. Tony will continue to play an important role within the business as Branch Manager for Rolleston, Lincoln, Leeston and Darfield, ensuring his experience and leadership remain a valuable part of the Canterbury team.
Managing Director Guy Mordaunt says Leigh's appointment reflects Property Brokers' long-standing commitment to developing leaders from within.
"One of the things I'm most proud of at Property Brokers is that our people build long careers here. Our Regional Managers have typically been in their roles for many years, so opportunities like this don't come around very often.
"When they do, it's important we appoint the right person. Leigh has earned this opportunity through the way she leads her people, supports her clients and contributes to our business every day.
"I also want to acknowledge Tony's outstanding contribution to Canterbury. He has played a huge part in building the region into what it is today and leaves it in a very strong position.
"Leigh has the respect of everyone who works alongside her. She genuinely cares about people, she leads by example, and she's passionate about helping others succeed. She's exactly the right person to lead Canterbury into its next chapter."
Leigh has built an outstanding reputation across North Canterbury through her leadership, strong sales performance and commitment to developing people. Since becoming Branch Manager for Rangiora and Kaikōura, she has helped grow the business while fostering a culture where people are supported to succeed.
Reflecting on her appointment, Leigh says she is excited to build on the strong foundations already in place across Canterbury.
"I'm incredibly excited to take on this role and to build on the strong foundations Tony has established over many years. He's been a wonderful leader, and I'm looking forward to continuing to work alongside him as we support our teams across Canterbury.
"What has always stood out to me about Property Brokers is our people. We genuinely care about each other, we celebrate each other's successes and we're all working towards the same goal of achieving the very best outcomes for our clients.
"I've always enjoyed helping people grow, whether that's supporting someone who's new to the industry or encouraging experienced people to take the next step in their careers. If I can help create an environment where our teams feel supported, challenged and excited about what they do, then I'll know I'm doing my job."
