Tony’s career began in 1960 with Chumbley & Co, a London Estate Agent, where he gained a thorough grounding in all aspects of the property business whilst building up the company’s management, development and auction departments. In 1965 he founded The Arden Estate Office, later to become Eastbank Studios, and his ventures into acquisition, refurbishment and sale of residential and commercial property in East London began in earnest. Under his bold guidance Eastbank’s activities have spread throughout London, making it a highly efficient, productive and dynamic organisation.

Jason began his career with Estate Agents firm Marsh and Parsons, where he would go on to head up the Commercial Agency Department. However, much like his father, Jason was destined to be an entrepreneur and in 1991 Eastbank Property Services Ltd was born. Using his industry contacts and keen property development and investment skills, he would successfully grow the business, which he negotiated the sale of some 7 years later.

At Eastbank Studios, Jason oversees investment in and realisation of assets, project management, planning and acquisition. Jason's strengths are in understanding and surmounting the failures and flaws of the job. He strives to continually perfect his strategy and surrounds himself with a first-class team of like-minded people who share his ethos to stay focused and deliver consistently. He believes that trusting his own judgement, as well as being acutely aware of the economic and political landscape, is what sets the baseline for everything that comes next.
