Tom Hayman-Joyce MNAEA MARLA
Partner - Moreton-in-Marsh
Tom is responsible for the Moreton-in-Marsh office, his local town since he was a young boy, which includes a residential sales team and the firm’s lettings, auctions, professional and commercial teams.
I absolutely love the Cotswolds and everything it offers. I feel privileged to live and work in such a beautiful place with such wonderful people. Our team at Hayman-Joyce is exceptional. My primary focus is to build and further develop the team, to ensure we have all the support, training and tools to deliver a truly unprecedented service.
Our foundations are built on transparency, integrity and always doing the right thing, even if it’s to our detriment. Understanding these core values sets us apart and breeds our success.
I’m proud of the team, our five-star Google review rating and recently winning two industry awards.
I’ve spent most of my life in the Cotswolds – my first five years in Milton-under-Wychwood before moving to Barton-on-the-Heath in the mid-eighties.
I went to school at Kitebrook, then Winchester House, followed by Bloxham, took a gap year to Australia before reading Geography at Exeter University.
After graduating with a Batchelor of Science degree, and a spell at Hayman-Joyce, I moved to London joining Winkworth in their Westminster and Pimlico branch. Armed with a telephone and an “applicant box”, I rapidly learnt to build relationships and achieve sales in a predominantly commission led environment. Qualifying as a member of the Propertymark National Association of Estate Agents and consistently being top negotiator by exceeding ambitious targets in the office, were my highlights.
Wanting to broaden my experience, I moved to Savills in their Richmond-upon-Thames office. Firstly, building the Savills’ core market (properties selling between £500,000 and £1,250,000) and then selling and pitching for property across all price ranges.
Seven years later, in 2009 James (my father) asked me to return to Hayman-Joyce. I was delighted and honoured and moved back to the Cotswolds with my then fiancée, Amy.
Four years later I bought into the business with James and Charlie. I’m responsible for the Moreton-in-Marsh office, which includes a sales team and the lettings, commercial and valuation teams.
Outside work I’m never happier than spending time with my wife Amy and daughters Beatrice and Edith. We live in Cold Aston and enjoy the wonderful family life the Cotswolds’ offers. My other love is cars and motorsport, I race Caterham 7’s and have done since 2005.
I am chairman of Moreton Show, the largest one day agricultural show in the country with an attendance of about 25,000. The Show Society is a charity to educate, promote and improve farming, the countryside, food and breeding of livestock, horses and heavy horses within the community, with focus on the environment, conservation and sustainability.;

Prior to Hayman-Joyce, his agency career began in 1989 working for two national firms of estate agents where he successfully managed several offices throughout the Worcestershire West Midlands areas.
His current role oversees the residential sales team at the Moreton-in-Marsh office where he has been based since 2008.
John says “I really enjoy the positive atmosphere we have at Hayman-Joyce and I love the variety of properties we are involved with. We are an established team of property professionals who have worked together for many years. We are all committed to delivering a quality service to our clients and I am delighted when we are asked by previous clients to act for them again. I am honoured to be part of this longstanding professional team.
With over 30 years of working continuously in the property industry, it is still a pleasure to hand over the keys to a buyer on the day of completion. Furthermore, it is incredibly satisfying to be appreciated by our clients who regularly post five-star Google reviews.”;

Jasper Feilding FRICS
Consultant
Jasper has spent the majority of his working life as an estate agent in the Cotswolds. Although brought up in Warwickshire, he fell in love with the Cotswolds whilst at the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester in the early 70’s.
On leaving Cirencester Jasper embarked on his chosen career as an estate agent and started in the country house department of Savills, based in Mayfair, in 1975. However, the attraction of the Cotswolds proved too much and in 1980, together with his new wife, he returned to Gloucestershire to take up a new job with Rylands & Co in Cirencester, later moving in 1991 to run Strutt & Parker’s agency department in their recently opened Moreton-in-Marsh office for nearly 20 years.
In all he spent the next 30 years as a well-known agent dealing with all types of property across the Cotswolds before in 2010 being enticed back to Mayfair to head up the London Country department for Carter Jonas, selling country houses and farms and estates all over the country, and to sit in an office literally on the other side of a street in Mayfair from the office he had left 30 years earlier!
In 2017 Jasper was invited by Tom Hayman-Joyce to return to his roots and become a Consultant with the firm. For the last 33 years Jasper has lived in Shipston-on-Stour, so the decision to end his days commuting to London was an easy one to make. He is enjoying being back on the old familiar patch spending time making new acquaintances and renewing old ones.;
