Sue Iles
On the 18th of August 2021 a light that had burned so brightly for so long went out for the last time. Sue had bravely battled stomach cancer for 18 months and had never complained or stopped giving her all to all of those that she held dear to her. The company that she co founded remains true to her ideals of honesty, hard work, personal attention and loyalty.
Sue was married to Neil and had three children, Matthew, Jonathan and Anna. She grew up in Weston-super-Mare, working in the old General Post Office before going into estate agency.
She was the hardest worker any of us knew, often working late into the night to give the service that she felt her clients deserved.
We all miss Sue very much but she lives on through her family, our memories and the company she ran.
Neil Jenkin
Director / Owner neil@ilesandjenkin.co.ukNeil spent the best twenty years of his life living with, married to, and working alongside Sue.
His background originally was in Agriculture, having studied an HND before working in the industry in sales and customer service roles. He then had a huge change in his mid twenties, joining the Royal Marine Commandos, spending seven years serving his country and going on operations in Northern Ireland and Afghanistan.
Leaving the Marines in 2002 and starting an Estate Agency with Sue whilst at the same time having a six week old baby to look after and raise!
Neil works behind the scenes ensuring the business runs smoothly, is legally compliant and ensures that Sue’s name lives on as part of the vision she started in 2002.
