Louise Thompson Outside the Barker Healey Property

Louise Thompson (MNAEA LLB Hons)

Owner, Valuer, Lister & Negotiator

Louise Thompson has several years experience working within the property industry including time spent as a commercial and residential property Solicitor in Wolverhampton and Telford, as well as prior experience as a Lettings Negotiator within another local agency. Having grown up in Market Drayton, Louise moved to Newport in 2007 when she bought her first house, and very much classes herself as a Shropshire girl through and through!

Now she is a Mum to her three young children, “free” time is at a premium but when she gets the chance, Louise enjoys playing netball, following football (Sheffield Wednesday to be specific!), walking her dogs and eating out!

“I have had a lifelong passion for all things bricks and mortar, so I pride myself on providing friendly, honest and accurate advice – enabling you to reach the next rung on the property ladder.”

Sarah Webster

Office Manager

Sarah initially joined Barker Healey Property in early 2025 on a part-time basis, marking a new chapter in her professional journey after relocating from East Yorkshire. With an impressive management career spanning over 20 years in the fitness industry, Sarah brings a wealth of expertise, an unwavering commitment to excellence, and an exceptional eye for detail. These qualities make her a tremendous asset, benefitting both our current and future clients.

It did not take long for Sarah’s remarkable passion for her work to shine through. Her dedication and enthusiasm for the property industry (she has bought and sold numerous times herself!) coupled with her methodical approach and understanding of customer needs makes her an ideal fit for the role.

“Outside of my professional commitments, I treasure my time spent on holidays and travels, embracing new experiences and cultures. I also enjoy quality moments with my husband, family and grandchildren and am a keen follower of Liverpool Football Club!”

Claire Stephens

Lettings & Property Management Associate

Claire lives in Newport with her partner, son, two step-children and Cooper, the Collie. She has a qualification in Business and Finance and a wealth of administrative experience, having worked for a Local Government Authority for 16 years. She is friendly, approachable and nothing is too much trouble. Claire thrives in our busy office environment, forging relationships with landlords and tenants to facilitate happy, successful tenancies. 

Outside of work, Claire is part of a ladies’ cricket team during the summer months, participating in a regional softball league. In the colder months she can often be found crafting!

“I thoroughly enjoy meeting and talking to people…..don’t be surprised if I stop and chat to you in the High Street! I have a genuine love for Newport and the surrounding areas. I have an abundance of administrative knowledge and skills, coupled with many years of customer service experience and will always do my utmost to go above and beyond for our customers”
