Paul, our good will leader and captain of the ship, was born in Reading and grew up in a small village nearby called Tilehurst, after school he built a business in construction, which he then moved to Basingstoke and eventually London until in 2004 when he met Sarah, they married in 2006 and settled into their home in Worthing with Sarah’s two daughters & Pauls four daughters… the family home is always busy at the weekends!!!
Howard & Co was born from Paul and Sarah’s amalgamation as they had noticed that there was a lot more an agency can offer to their clients in Worthing. From those early days they have grown the business by providing the same service that would expect to one and all.
One of our promises is that we always like to give the service we would like to receive. Rarely do businesses deliver above expectations these days but we always strive to do that here, and Worthing has been good to us in return, that’s why Paul loves it here so much!
Paul recognises that there is a huge challenge to house people locally and nationally in the UK and the service we provide needs to be the very best available.
Sarah Howard - Partner

Sarah is Pauls better half and was born in Hamble, raised in Southwick and moved to Worthing in the mid 80’s where they now live just around the corner from the office in the Poets District.
Having raised two daughters, Katie and Beckie, and after a career as a legal executive, Paul and Sarah took the leap of faith and ventured into the property industry with the launch of Howard & Co in 2007 and they’ve not looked back since, helping numerous landlords, tenants, sellers and buyers with their own journeys at the same time!
Sarah loves Worthing for everything it offers, but especially being able to walk along the Seafront, and the biggest highlight of her various roles at the head of Howard & Co. is that no two days are ever the same, with each week capped off by seeing happy people move into their new homes.

Maria brings Mediterranean culture, friendliness, and compassion to the team, born and currently residing in our beautiful seaside town but spending much of her childhood with her family in Italy.
Coming to us as a simply amazing administrator and looking after much of our referencing and day to day operation, Maria has just started out in the property sector but brings an abundance of customer service experience after 12 years in the travel industry.
Maria thrives under the pressure of a tight deadline, loves finding the right home for the right client and getting them moved in no time at all, and when she is not at the office, she loves nothing more than cocktails with the girls and going for longs walks on the beach or countryside with her beloved pooch, Ralph.
