Last Wednesday, 31st March 2010 saw the end of an era at Shires Estate Agents when founding director Bob Gallon worked his final day before retiring.

Under Bobs influence the company has evolved considerably since it was founded back in 1987. Initially the company set up with Bob working in a mortgage adviser capacity, alongside David Kemble-Taylor and Mike Ellis who ran the agency side. After a couple of years Bob switched over to his preferred territory – selling houses and the companies presence grew and grew. Having worked part time over recent years, Bobs retirement was marked by a meal at the Angel Hotel in Bury St Edmunds with David and Mike, alongside professional acquaintances Terry Ball of Kester Cunningham John, Roger Turner of Colleys and John Casson of Marshall Buck.

His office colleagues then treated Bob to a retirement gift of a watch, a cake and then a relaxing meal at the local Chinese.

We hope your retirement is long and enjoyable – cheers Bob!
