Tim Bartells

Tim brings over 30 years of property development experience to Longridge Country Estate.

His “big picture” thinking has been the driving force behind the concept, and project  management elements.

As the guy who often looks at something that already works well, then asks: “how can we make it better?”, Tim’s vision is to propel retirement village living into the future, using design and technology to support the three pillars of Comfort, Community and Care, and he is committed to ensuring that the highest standards are achieved and maintained.

Jenny Wilson

Jenny’s professional background in tourism, events, employment, and community has brought a  people-focused view to the team.

Studies show that activity, stimulation, a connection with nature and strong community ties are all vital for greater health and happiness no matter what age we are. Jenny is a passionate believer in the well-being of people and the planet, Jenny is instrumental in ensuring that Longridge Country Estate encompasses all of these values to provide the best possible living environment for Longridge residents.
