There was a certain inevitability that soon after my double marathon in the Atlas Mountains in 2024 that I would be open to another challenge whilst legs, health and my wonderfully supportive wife Carol allowed. This has all followed a growing, but unplanned, running adventure since 2019 with 14 ultra marathons and over 6000 training miles (including 100-ish half-marathon training runs). Needless to say, my physio is seeing more of me than ever!

Helen Whitfield - Market Comment
The last couple of months over the summer holidays have been unexpectedly busy for the Butler Sherborn residential teams. Traditionally, the property market tends to slow down during the school break, as many families travel abroad and shift their focus away from house hunting. However, the summer of 2025 has defied expectations.
