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 continuing to win leading 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 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 taking on and selling 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 fiancée, Amy.

In September 2014, I purchased the business from my father. I love building and constantly improving the business on the strong foundations and ethics set by my father.

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 hobbies include motorsport (I’ve raced since 2005), mountain biking, squash, skiing, supporting the girls with their pony riding and countryside walks with our Border Terrier Maud.

I am the Chairman of Moreton Show Society which runs the largest one-day agricultural show in the country. This is a volunteer role and one which I have been working towards for many years. The society is the cornerstone of the Cotswolds and all it stands for. Its purpose as a registered charity is to inform, educate and promote farming and the countryside with focus on sustainability, conservation, and environmental issues.;

Married for over 30 years to his wife Barbara and with a family of three boys, John has an active work and social life. When not at work, the golf course is a regular retreat for John where he enjoys playing both social and competition golf.

After being approached by James Hayman-Joyce to join the firm John commenced his career with Hayman-Joyce in 2006 specialising in the sale of residential properties.

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.

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.;
