2025 has been a landmark year for our business, filled with growth, innovation and proud moments shared across our entire team. From exciting new launches to well-deserved industry recognition, we’ve continued to push forward with confidence and ambition. This year also marked a major milestone as we celebrated our 10th year in business, making it a truly unforgettable chapter in our journey.
Celebrating 10 years in business
Over the past decade, we’ve grown from a small, ambitious idea into the trusted brand we are today, built on passion, resilience and an unwavering commitment to our clients. Reaching this anniversary is a testament to the dedication of our incredible team, the loyalty of our clients and partner agents and the strength of the relationships we’ve built along the way. We’re immensely proud of everything we’ve achieved over the last ten years and excited for what the next decade will bring.
As part of this celebration, we were also proud to publish our second magazine, showcasing our journey, our people, and the values that continue to drive us forward. The magazine is a powerful marketing tool for agents to share with clients, showcasing the tangible impact of professional staging through real-life case studies. It’s designed to inspire confidence, highlight results and demonstrate how thoughtful staging can transform a property’s appeal. Let us know if you want a copy!
Welcoming New Talent to the Team
This year, we strengthened our team with some fantastic new additions across both sales and operations:
- Karen and Cassie joined our Sales Team, bringing with them energy, experience and a passion for delivering outstanding results. Between them they are covering Hertfordshire, West Sussex, North and South London.
- Annie and Lisa became part of our Operations Team, helping to drive efficiency, streamline processes, and support our continued growth behind the scenes.
Their contributions have already made a huge impact, and we’re excited to see what the future holds with them on board.
Launch of Lemon and Lime Franchising
One of our biggest milestones of 2025 was the successful launch of Lemon and Lime Franchising. This marks an incredible new chapter for our business, allowing ambitious entrepreneurs to join our brand and grow with us.
To support this exciting expansion, we welcomed Katie, who leads our franchise recruitment and has been instrumental in attracting the right partners to help our network grow. Kirsty plays a central role in managing our franchisees, overseeing their training and providing the ongoing support and guidance they need to succeed. Together, they ensure our franchise network is set up for long-term success.
Currently we have Kate Jones operating the Cardiff territory, Luke Harris and Rebecca Channon operating in the Canterbury territory and Rhona Jarvis in Exeter, helping us establish a strong presence across key regions.
Industry Recognition & Media Features
2025 was also a year of major recognition for our team and brand:
- We landed in 70 publications, 40% of those being national press. Some of the top national and lifestyle publications featured include Country Living, Estate Agent Today, House Beautiful, PrimeResi, Kent Life (franchising), Daily Mirror and first time featuring in Marie Claire
- We were proudly featured on Channel 4’s Britains Most Expensive Houses, shining a national spotlight on our work.
- We appeared on the iMove Podcast with Phil Spencer, sharing insights, expertise, and our journey with a wide audience.
- We were honoured to be awarded Gold at The Negotiator Awards, a prestigious achievement that reflects the dedication and excellence of our entire team. We were also recognised internationally once again with the IAHSP Superfecta award – the ultimate recognition of excellence across the board.
These moments have been truly rewarding and reinforce our commitment to delivering the very best for our clients.
Our fabulous projects
Kate’s favourite:
Snowswick Farm
default
This was without a doubt my favourite house to stage this year. The exterior of this period farmhouse is stunning, and the interior offers wonderful proportions with lovely views from every window. We selected furniture and accessories that complemented the property’s character and era, creating a comfortable yet stylish environment perfect for modern family living.
Kathy’s favourite:
Greenacre
I absolutely loved staging Greenacre this year. The property had been in the family for many years, carrying countless memories and emotional attachments. Supporting the family every step of the way was a true privilege. Seeing their tears of joy and gratitude on staging day is exactly why I love what I do. And to top it off, the property sold quickly and above the asking price, a wonderful bonus to an already special project.
3 Hough Lane
Transforming 3 Hough Lane was a significant project, involving decluttering, decorating, and staging. The client was an absolute dream to support, fully embracing our vision and trusting our staging expertise. After following all our recommendations, he was thrilled that his property sold within 14 days of staging and achieved 3% above the guide price. An absolute joy to be part of!
Strategic Partnership with Abels
Another key milestone this year was our new partnership with Abels, joining forces to provide a reliable and efficient logistics solution for our business. We chose to partner with Abels because of their exceptional reputation for quality and dependability, they hold a Royal Warrant, which reflects their long-standing commitment to excellence and high standards. Their professional, customer-focused approach ensures that our deliveries are handled efficiently and with care, giving our franchisees and clients confidence in every stage of the process. This collaboration has not only strengthened our operational capabilities but also enhanced the level of service we can offer to our customers and franchise partners, helping us maintain the premium experience our brand is known for.
Looking Ahead to 2026
As we step into 2026, we do so with momentum, confidence, and exciting plans ahead. We are thrilled to welcome new franchisees joining our network, further expanding our reach and strengthening our brand across key regions. In addition, we look forward to continuing to build and deepen our partnerships with estate agents across the country, as well as with our trusted suppliers, ensuring we deliver the highest quality service and support at every level. None of this would have been possible without our dedicated team, loyal clients, and valued partners. Thank you for being part of our journey and for helping us make 2025 such a remarkable year.
