Celebrating a decade of service to Hammersmith, Shepherds Bush and Chiswick

Horton and Garton celebrated 10 years of trading in Hammersmith, Shepherds Bush and Chiswick with a party for over 200 guests at The Hogarth Health Club. Videos, which included well wishes from local Councillors, and speeches followed the delicious barbecue and drinks. Many of owner and founder John Horton’s team members have been with him for the bulk of the business’s journey. John Horton notes, “Opening an independent estate agency in what was the worst moment for the London property market in this century appeared daft to some but a foundation of integrity, honesty and professionalism coupled with a rock solid work ethic and dogged determination has seen Horton and Garton rise to the top. Apart from serving our local clients, which is always a joy, I’d have to say the best part of our success has been the ability to support a variety of local charities. Throughout the past decade we’ve established enduring links with charities ranging from local school PTAs and community choirs to the Lyric Theatre and most recently we were proud to support the Move4Change local poverty awareness walk organised by Crosslight and the Hammersmith & Fulham Foodbank. I’m proud that the agency has been a catalyst for good in the community.”Sales Manager Martin Clements, who was with John on the first day of trading, mused, “We’ve gone from assembling our own IKEA furniture on day one to the top spot for sales agreed in Hammersmith, Shepherds Bush and Chiswick. I’m honoured to share this occasion with our clients, friends and contractors – without whom this success wouldn’t have been possible.” Lettings Manager Ashley Clements joined in the first year of trading, shared, “I owe a debt of gratitude to John Horton for many reasons and not just the opportunity to learn and shine in this industry.” He added to a raucous round of applause, “Without Horton and Garton, I wouldn’t have met Honor who also worked with the company. I’m proud to say she’s recently agreed to be my wife.”We look forward to another ten years of superlative service to home owners, buyers and renters here in Hammersmith, Shepherds Bush and Chiswick.
