Estate agency and surveying firm, Chrystals has announced the appointment of Joney Kerruish to its board of directors.
Educated at King William’s College and Ramsey Grammar School before studying Urban Estate Management at Liverpool John’s Moore’s University, Joney has since worked in both the UK and on the Isle of Man.
She qualified at Drivers Jonas in Manchester and also worked for five years at Countrywide Surveyors Northamptonshire, where she specialised in residential survey and valuation, including mortgage valuations and homebuyers’ surveys.
Having worked there earlier in her life, Joney returned to Chrystals as a chartered surveyor in 2011.
She brings substantial experience to the new role, which involves responsibility for general practice surveying, overseeing the residential lettings side of the business, and anti-money laundering and compliance.
Joney said: ‘I’ve been involved with Chrystals since a very young age and it is wonderful to now be taking a senior position with the company.
‘I’m really excited by the opportunities that exist for growing our client base, despite the competitive nature of the market.’
She added: ‘I am also particularly keen to make my mark as a business woman in what has traditionally been a male dominated career path.’
Shane Magee, chairman, said: ‘Joney will make an excellent addition to our senior team.
‘The extra responsibility she has taken on has been earned through a long and successful career in the industry and our business will definitely benefit from her appointment as a director.’
