Craig grew up in the Stoke area and attended the local secondary school, now known as Stoke Damerel Community College. Both Jack & Craig are also ex-serving members of the Royal Navy.

The Company was named after “Cross Keys House” which is the name of the building where the Company has been housed since our inception. It seemed appropriate to keep the spirit of the building alive by adopting the name for the Estate Agency. The name “Cross Keys House 1905” can be seen at top of the building to this day and dates back to when it first operated as a public house. The property that stood on the current site previously was the “Cross Keys Hotel” that was sadly lost to a fire at the end of the 19th Century.
