Sales

Simon Bray

Simon Bray

Director of Sales
I have been involved in property since 2004, working at The Sunday Times Property before joining the Hudsons team back in 2007. Service is at the heart of everything I do and building long-term relationships with clients has been key to my successes. I like to make property personal by understanding my clients’ needs and requirements, providing them with honest and accurate advice which has created many referrals, recommendations and repeat business. Buying and selling property can be a stressful process but I like to make it as straightforward as possible. The West End is such a vibrant place to work, with many special people and places that you get to know over time. My go-to lunch spot is Café Metro Express on Windmill Street – the enigmatic Karim serves up a mean Moroccan chicken salad and this rooftop shot with the iconic Sennet Building as a backdrop is just one of the many architectural masterpieces in this great city.
Spencer

Spencer Botchin

Director of Residential
I have worked as an Estate Agent in London for over 35 years and property is my passion. I have achieved success in Marylebone, St Johns Wood, Regents Park, Primrose Hill, Fitzrovia, Bloomsbury, Covent Garden and Soho, which makes me a true Central London property expert with a wealth of experience and knowledge that is rarely rivalled. There is no better feeling than hearing that a sale has exchanged contracts and my clients are delighted with the outcome, or that I have been recommended to another potential client. Providing a great service is at the centre of everything I do. When I am not at work, my family comes first but I also have a real passion for food and drink. I would like to think that I have a great sense of humour although my family and work colleagues may think otherwise!

Jody Lindsay

Sales Administrator
I’ve been working in the property industry since 2023 and have absolutely fallen in love with the dynamic, fast-paced nature of the field. With several years of administrative experience behind me, I thrive in roles that require organisation, precision and strong client communication. What I enjoy most about property is the opportunity to support people through one of the most significant milestones of their lives - whether they’re buying their first home or selling a cherished one, I take pride in being part of their journey from start to finish. Working in the West End has been a dream - the energy of the area, the beautiful mix of historic charm and modern living and the unbeatable food scene make every day exciting. Fitzrovia holds a special place in my heart and Thai Metro quickly became my go-to spot when I first started working here.

Lettings

Paul Thomson

Lettings Manager
I have lived and worked in the West End since 2000. I love the village feel that Marylebone offers as well as the proximity to all the local neighbourhoods. After 18 years at my last company when the chance to join Hudsons arose, heading up the lettings team, it was the perfect opportunity for me as our beliefs and morals are very much in tune. I love working in a boutique independent agency, because you are like a family with the full focus on the customer. I love to provide excellent customer service to both my landlords and tenants by offering trusted and knowledgeable guidance. Working in property also gives me the chance to meet a wide variety of people from all corners of the world and of course, I get to see some amazing properties too. My favourite place for an after-work drink is Home Marylebone, in my time living there I've known it as The Rising Sun, Dusk and Coco Momo yet it has always been my favoured location to relax, unwind and meet friends but I also like the serenity of the Winter Garden at the Landmark Hotel. Outside of work I like to play golf and I try and play whenever I can.

Sarese Teji

Property Manager
I’ve been working in property since 2023, and honestly, my love for it just keeps growing. It’s always been something I’ve been really interested in, and I genuinely enjoy the fact that no two days are ever the same. I love a challenge, and there’s nothing more satisfying than helping to resolve a maintenance issue knowing you’ve made a real difference to someone’s day. I’ve been working in and around London for the past eight years, and I absolutely love the energy of the West End – there’s just something about it. Being part of the team at Hudsons is the cherry on top. It’s such a dynamic place to work, and I get to meet so many interesting people. Plus, we’re surrounded by great food spots – I won’t lie, I do love a cheeky Wok to Walk (it’s dangerously close to the office!). Outside of work, I’m all about spending time with my friends and family. I love going out to eat, trying new restaurants, or cooking up something different at home. Anything food-related, I’m there!

Commercial

Jon Hudson

Founder
It was always property for me – I was fascinated and excited by it from an early age. I started back in 1988, so I have many years of knowledge under my belt of how to ‘do it right’ or, how we like to say "to exceed expectations at every door"! I founded Hudsons in 2002 and I still haven’t lost the passion and drive to keep innovating and listening to help improve our service to our customers. I had this shot taken outside of Hudsons HQ, located in the heart of Charlotte Street. I will never forget the first time I walked along here and knew I had to open an office in this vibrant location! Outside of work, family comes first. Living locally helps us enjoy so much on our doorstep including great museums, restaurants and parks. Oka Marylebone (or Soho) and Koha in Covent Garden are two are my favourite foodie delights!

Head Office

Luisa Cooper

Operations Manager
I bring over 15 years of experience in operations, executive support and events management to my role as Operations Manager. I’ve worked across investment banking, PR and communications, building a reputation for creating efficient systems, managing teams and aligning operations with company strategy. Having spent the past two years in the West End, I love the area’s energy. On a sunny day, you’ll often find me grabbing a coffee from Kitchen Coffee on Newman Street, relaxing in a deckchair at Rathbone Square and later enjoying a glass of wine and some tapas at Lisboeta. At Hudsons, I ensure daily operations run smoothly and support our team to deliver exceptional service. Outside work, I enjoy time with my family, especially my two young children who keep me on my toes!

Carl Byron

Head of Accounts
I have worked in the West End since 2005, looking after both our landlords and tenants client accounting, as well as the business finances. After 18 years at my last company in Marylebone, and haven taken a 6 month hiatus to pursue another sector, I was drawn back in to the property accounting at Hudsons, which I sorely missed due to the busy and varied nature of the role. I pride myself on efficiency, and an eye for details when it comes to dealing with numbers on a day-to-day basis. Although I am primarily office based, I do enjoy a long walk at lunchtimes to take in the local area and its many charms. One such place I tend to head for is Fitzroy Place, with its landscaped square, Chapel and a nice sun trap. Outside of work, my family come first, but I am also a keen gamer, North American sports enthusiast and golf caddy for my son.

Support Team

Shaan Teji

Social Media Manager
I’m Shaan, the freelance Social Media Manager for Hudsons. I love bringing creativity and personality into our online presence and finding fresh ways to connect with our audience. Outside of work, my biggest hobby is creating content for myself based around beauty and I’m a big fan of sweet treats – you’ll often find me at Elan Cafe or unwinding with a spicy margarita at the Soho Hotel bar after a busy day. I love the West End vibe, especially around Soho. With so much screen time, I make self-care a priority, especially skincare and time offline.
