Chesters Estate:
John and his wife Ellie have combined their respective skills in advertising and acting to revitalise this beautiful estate which comes with all the usual challenges of overhead and upkeep costs. This has been an ongoing process documented by the Channel 4 programme Country House Rescue. They both view their ownership of Chesters as an enormous privilege and want to do all they can to make sure it not only remains viable but can also be shared with as many people as possible.

This has involved teaming up with various players in the sector creatively to minimise cost and risk and maximise benefits for everyone which John is pleased to share with Thrive. (www.chestersestate.co.uk)
