Buxton Property was formed in September 2019. The company was formed by two directors Gary Simmons and Philip Gifford. Philip has worked in property management for 20 years. Gary Simmons runs a successful property maintenance company, called Clearview. Over the last 30 years Gary has grown it into a team of 25 maintenance and trade workers, to cover all aspects of property maintenance. Both Philip and Gary saw an opportunity to create a company, which utilises both companies’ skill sets to provide a fully holistic property management service.
