Patrick Bonnet
Developments Manager
Background
I am originally from the North West of England, but lived and studied in Cambridge for many years.
I worked for a long time as an Infrastructure Engineer for the National Health Service, before accepting a position at Liverpool University where I was in charge of an EU funded research facility.
It was largely here that I honed my skills for digital marketing, internet security, and data protection; all of which are duties for me at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Portugal Property
What do you like most about Portugal?
Asides from the obvious pull of the climate, the food, and the wine; I love the pace of life here. When you are used to the sometimes hectic day to day of England , it is refreshing to live in a country that really prioritises quality of life.
I have found the Portuguese people to be incredibly welcoming, and that has helped me to feel at home here so quickly
Why do you like working for Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Portugal Property?
Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Portugal Property is an extremely dynamic and ambitious company, and despite being such a large organisation, it feels like a very close knit team.
As well as a more technical role, I really enjoy finding properties for clients. It feels a privilege to be involved in such an important life event as buying a house.
What do you like to do when you are not working?
I like to run, and there are so many beautiful trails I have discovered in my time living here. I look forward to discovering plenty more in the coming years.
I also really love fresh seafood and that is in abundance right across the many coastal resorts in the Algarve.
