Bronwyn entered real estate in 2011, bringing with her an unbeatable work ethic and the varied work and life skills accumulated from two high-achievement careers, first in teaching in which she reached the top of her profession, becoming foundation principal of St Matthew’s Primary School in Hastings. This challenging position, involving managing the multiple requirements of staff, pupils, parents and officialdom, introduced her to people from all walks of life and established a sound grounding in business and customer relations that was to stand her in good stead when in 2001, she opted for a career change and moved to Queensland. There she bought, renovated and sold apartments in the highly competitive Gold Coast market, in so doing highlighting talents in project management and design. Nine years later, in 2010, she and husband Noel were back in New Zealand, in Tauranga, where they combined Bronwyn’s experience with Noel’s creative and computer skills to begin a new joint career in real estate. In less than twelve months Bronwyn had outperformed 90% of LJ Hooker’s 650 sales staff to win the company’s Captain’s Club award. It was to be the first of a string of ‘titles’ which has continued since the couple moved to Hawke’s Bay to be closer to grandchildren, and Bronwyn joined Tremains Real Estate in Havelock North.
