about us

Mission

It is our simple ambition to develop a business which is synonymous with city living in Leeds and to engage our clients in such a way that they will not only stay with us over the long term but will also recommend us along the way.

With a unique approach to selling and renting and a philosophy based on energy, knowledge and passion, we are definitely not your typical estate agent.
Call us, let us know what you are looking for and find out why.

People

Morgans is run by a team of three.

Jonathan Morgan is the Managing Director and responsible for new business, strategic planning, commercial well being and turning off all the lights at night.
Jonathan was a founding member of the Leeds Property Forum Steering Group, and is currently a member of the advisory board to the St George’s Crypt Next Step Project, Chair of West Leeds Gateway Regeneration Board and sits on the Leeds City Council Housing and Planning Task Group.

Nigel Lenton is the Sales Director and he makes sure that we achieve our targets for sales and rentals. He trains and supports a team of around 10 negotiators and shuts the windows at night.
Nigel has been an Estate Agent for 25 years and is a Fellow of the National Association of Estate Agents. He is a keen golfer when it’s sunny and was an outstanding athlete and rugby player in his younger years.

Charlie Lyons runs the business from day to day and is responsible for all personnel, client and external matters and turning off the air con. She previously worked as a Management Consultant for McKinsey and Morgan Stanley, has a self-confessed obsession with property and is currently studying for an MBA at Harvard (remotely).
As a board, the three Directors meet monthly to discuss performance, personnel, future planning and the market.

Emmaus

Morgans was an early supporter of the Emmaus project, which gives homeless men and women ‘a bed to sleep in and a reason to get out of it’. Based on a commercial model that encourages self-sufficiency, the community is now up and running in Leeds with around 20 companions. Most use the community as a stepping-stone back into mainstream life and we are proud to remain committed corporate companions.

Variety Club

Morgans and Variety Club were the originators of the Resi Props Party Night, the fourth of which was held in January 2007. The evening raised over £70,000 for the Variety Club, which supports sick and disadvantaged children in Yorkshire. Morgans have also supported the Property Awards event at Rudding Park and they and their generous guests over the years have funded two Variety Club Sunshine Coaches.
