Under New Ownership

We are aware that recent articles and comments have raised questions about the changes within our business. While we understand the concern this has caused, we wanted to address the situation directly and share the facts with our valued clients, colleagues, and community. This period marks a significant transition for us- one that brings both reflection and optimism for the future. 

Dennison Property Services Ltd has acquired the property management business and will continue to trade as Jan Forster Estates. We are thrilled to embark on this new chapter, continuing the legacy of family ownership of Jan Forster Estates. Our new owners, Angela Dennison and Melissa Carman, bring over 40 years of combined experience to the role, ensuring the business is in capable and confident hands. We are committed to maintaining the high standard of quality service and deep expertise you have come to expect.

We would also like to take a moment to acknowledge the colleagues leaving us and to express our sincere gratitude for their hard work, dedication, and support over the years. While this is undoubtedly a difficult time, the restructuring is an essential step towards stabilising our business, protecting the majority of roles, and ensuring we continue to deliver the high standard of service our clients across the North East have come to expect.

We deeply appreciate the continued support of our clients and community as we work through this transition, and we look forward to building the future together.



Yours sincerely,

Angela Dennison & Melissa Carman - Owners
