About
Damian Galvin
I come from an Automotive Design & Manufacturing background in the UK for 24 years and was privileged to work for the best. I moved into Real Estate & Interior design from a passion for the subject. Designing Car Engines for Jaguar taught me about brand loyalty & emotional attachment to one's work. Suspension design for Ford taught me about delivering excellence even on the simplest product or job. Moving onto Manufacturing, I worked in Ford Fiesta car production at Ford, which taught me to think quickly, accurately & stand by my decisions. When producing cars every 42 seconds using 4000 men, there is no time to delay difficult decisions, have on-the-fence opinions. Data driven, solidly thought out, quick-acting work is essential. From there, I had the great honor of working for 12 years for Aston Martin. First in Engine development, then suspension design & lastly, a 9 year marathon of Cost Reduction through Engineering, Finance & Purchasing. Here, I learned about power, beauty & soul in a product. 3 bywords of the product. Hard work & determination saw a small bunch of employees taking a failing, ridiculed company in 1994 to the solid, proud world class competitor is it today & I was a proud member of that effort.

Little known secret tip for property growth! Disclosed!
Many tenants complain of their rental money being wasted as dead money, but this is simply not true & one of the most basic errors in calculating lost investment.
A bad location is usually an incurable weakness with a property & a key de-valuer, growing disproportionally over time. A house that is half the price of one is a better location will usually maintain that % difference, even when the market strengthens, making the problem worse over time.
