Rebecca Read

I am an incredibly thorough individual with an eye for detail. I possess an inquisitive and analytical mind which enables me to tackle problems head on, with focus and drive. An effective communicator, I am highly motivated and hard working, whilst being incredibly loyal. I am a fast learner and a quick thinker.

I am a sole charge groom at a private dressage yard caring for 3 horses (not including my own) who range in ability from Medium to Grand Prix. I arrange for farrier, vet, feed/forage orders as well as grounds maintenance, field management and grass care. I have 20+ years’ experience working with and caring for horses on private yards, I have been riding for 31 years and trained to PSG level in dressage, competed to Medium level.

Jones and Jacob Limited is a small, independent Fine Art Auctioneers and Valuers. They hold monthly sales of art and antiques, with global as well as local customers. Jones and Jacob also provide valuation services for probate and insurance and are regulated by RICS and NAVA. Originally billed as a general admin position I had to quickly learn book keeping and accounts, writing legal documents for probate and insurance valuation, as well as two computer systems, brush up on my people management and HR skills. I have also learned how to recognise antique furniture and catalogue it, as well as learning how to photograph items for sale. I am the first port of call for all buyers and vendors as well as solicitors, couriers and members of ‘the trade’. We work to incredibly tight deadlines and fast turnaround in an ever changing business sector.
