At the tender age of 16, Joseph Murphy was on the shop floor of BHS when a random customer told him he’d be a perfect fit for estate agency. Fast forward 20+ years and Joseph has gone from a top performing agent for one of West London’s most established agents to co-founding Orchards of London, an award winning four branch network operating in Ealing, Chiswick, Acton and Shepherds Bush. In 2018 Joseph sold his share of Orchards of London and turned his hand to a new passion, property development. Gecko Developments was founded in January 2019 and has already delivered some of the most exceptional new developments in Ealing with an impressive pipeline of projects to go with it. In this insightful conversation, Joe talks about his longstanding fundamentals and how they stood him in good stead through the different roles he has excelled in.
