Savills has appointed Plum Fenton to join its team of prime residential experts in the Cotswolds.

A Cotswolds native, living in the region for more than 30 years, Plum has a wealth of experience in residential sales, specialising in the upper end of the market.

She joins Savills from Haringtons buying agency at which she focused on the prime London market. Prior to this, she spent eight years with Knight Frank.

Plum will work within the Savills country department - which specialises in the sale of country houses - leading on the Cotswolds and focusing on homes at above £2.5 million in value.

Based in Savills' global headquarters in London and the Cotswolds, she will work closely with the firm's network of agents in Cirencester, Cheltenham, Stow, Banbury and Oxford.

Plum Fenton said: "I am thrilled to be joining Savills, a company that holds client service, its people and property at its core. For me, this role is somewhat of a homecoming, combining my passion for connecting people and the place I've called home for my entire life.

"Aside from its beauty and connectivity, one of the huge draws to the Cotswolds is the range of lifestyles on offer. There are exceptional schools for families, tranquil villages for those in pursuit of a quieter life or endless opportunities to socialise.

"I am hugely energised by the opportunities my experience in the global property market will bring to the role and to build upon Savills' excellent reputation throughout the region."

Charles Elsmore-Wickens, head of Cotswold residential region, said: "Plum's appointment further strengthens our excellent coverage across the Cotswolds. She brings with her great energy, along with exceptional market knowledge, bolstering our collaborative approach between our local office experts and nationally and internationally focused country house team.'

Phillippa Dalby-Welsh, head of Savills' country department, said: "We are very excited to welcome Plum into the team. The Cotswolds is an important region for Savills, where we have built a reputation of providing excellent service over many years.

"I am sure that Plum's excellent local knowledge that only comes from being born and raised there, combined with her experience of working with clients at the upper end of the market, will contribute greatly to Savills growing success in the area."
