our people

At Caxtons we believe in exceeding expectations by providing the best possible service to our clients. To do this we have recruited experienced and well qualified staff, and ensure that they continue to expand their knowledge base both in their specific role and also through a programme of staff training and development.

Each department requires different talents and at Caxtons we have built our teams accordingly. Whilst there may be cross-over in the roles, qualifications and experience of some team members, there is also cross-fertilisation of ideas resulting in an enormous knowledge-base.

Caxtons’ clients benefit from well qualified, experienced and knowledgeable staff whichever department they are dealing with.
