A MAN has returned to his roots to head up an estate agent’s Saltaire office.

Matthew Fox will be in charge of Dacre, Son & Hartley’s office on Bingley Road in the village.

He grew up in Saltaire and has spent the last five years working in Shipley for a national estate agency chain.

Matthew said: “Moving to Dacre, Son & Hartley is an opportunity to join a leading independent estate agent that is very highly regarded in the local area and beyond.

“The Saltaire office also covers a wide geographical area, which makes this a role with plenty of potential, especially because there is so much demand in the market from homebuyers.”

He added most homes are selling in a matter of days at the moment.
