Annette Evans is the newly-appointed Head of External Communications for Sherwoods Independent Property Consultants, a leading international property services company with branches in the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, UK, France, Morocco and Switzerland.

Evans, the former Branch Manager of the company’s Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, office, joined Sherwoods in 2001 and quickly established a reputation for expertly advising clients on creating thriving property portfolios through investments in France, Spain and Morocco, and thoroughly exploring new developments in emerging markets. She has been witness to Sherwoods’ rapid growth from a modest five-staff operation to a more than 100-personnel strong organization.

Her skills proved highly valuable during Sherwoods’ expansion phases, where as Human Resources Manager, Evans focused on meticulous recruitment and training of staff and enhancing standards. She also developed and implemented training procedures and manuals to promote Sherwoods core values to new recruits and ensure continuous staff development. Evans initiated the opening and promotion of the Ras Al Khaimah branch after she recognized the potential of the emirate’s emerging market.

As Head of External Communications, Evans will act as Sherwoods’ new ambassador and will enhance market awareness for her company’s comprehensive portfolio of services. She has already initiated the deployment of Property Advice Bureaus in prestigious establishments, which will enable prospective clients to acquire brochures and information on Sherwoods’ services on the spot. These and other upcoming initiatives reflect Evans’ proactive and creative approach to property consultancy.
