The 2022 Judges

Our Property Management 50 judges are highly respected and well known in the industry- in fact they are all winners of the 2021 Property Management 50.  

These five are legends in their own right for the work they are doing to raise standards in their respective areas and we are delighted that they are involved in the process of choosing our Property Management 50 for 2022.

Without further ado, we would like to introduce our 2022 judges:

Lewis Cassar | 2021 Property Management 50 Winner - Property Manager

Lewis Cassar 

A proud winner in the 2021 property manager category with over 12 years of experience in the leasehold and freehold industry. Lewis has a vast range of expertise across all property and asset management sections, having represented clients from national freeholders to local RTM companies. What drives him the most is customer experience and providing education to all so our industry can stride forward in a constantly evolving and demanding world.

As a Director and Co-founder of Transparent Property Management Lewis has had the opportunity to implement this ideology and ethos not only to whom they represent but also to members of staff.  These people really are the heroes and front line who must deal with the incredible responsibility bestowed upon them.

Overdue and essential changes are coming to our sector, and I truly strive to be someone who helps it move to a better place.

Jodie Fraser

Jodie Fraser is the managing director of Fraser Allen Estate Management and specialises in managing residential blocks for private landlords. 

She started in the industry 15 years ago and learned her sector inside and out. After some time, she felt she could offer a more caring service for landlords and tenants by creating her own company where there was always respect for the homes of others. 

She took the plunge in 2016 and her business and her team has grown now managing blocks in Bristol, Swindon, Cheltenham, London and the Midlands. 

Her company, and Jodie, have won multiple awards including being named in the PM50 Property Management category in 2020 and her company scooped the Pandemic Response Award last year (News on the Block). She’s also been named as one of the 42 Under 42 to watch by South West Business Insider (2021).
