Deborah Simms, who has extensive experience in property management, recently decided the time was right to launch her own business and had been aware of the Sourced Living brand for some time.
Deborah says she was looking for a franchise opportunity that would enable her to use her experience and skills to establish and grow her own business, with a view to her daughter taking it over in the future.
She adds: “I knew of Sourced Living and was attracted to it because of the strength of its franchise business model and most importantly, its amazing acquisition opportunities.
“The business model offers a lot of flexibility and will enable us to specialise in managing serviced accommodation, HMOs and holiday lets, which is a perfect strategy for the Westminster territory. We are both very excited about the future.”
FUTURE PROOFING
Her daughter Jammelah has a background in business management, as well as outstanding customer service skills, honed from her time working as cabin crew on luxury long haul flights.
She says: “When my mum suggested a Sourced Living franchise, and we were offered the Westminster territory, it seemed like perfect timing. I am confident that we will work together well, as we have very similar ideas, love challenges and are passionate about what we do.
“Since the induction training, we’ve been using our knowledge of the area and our networking skills to develop some very meaningful contacts with landlords and tenants in the Westminster area, which we are now following up.”
WARM WELCOME
Sourced Living brand manager Sarah Byrne says: “We are delighted to welcome Deborah and Jameelah to the Sourced Living family. They completed their induction training on 1st June, and we wish them every success as they prepare to launch their brand-new Westminster office.
“On the same induction course, we also welcomed Dieter Christian, who will be launching a new Sourced Living office in Ashford, Kent. Our new franchisees are already looking to grow their businesses through Sourced’s unique Assisted Acquisition Programme, which can provide full funding for the right opportunities.”
AMAZING ACHIEVEMENT
Sourced Living founder and chief executive Stephen Moss, says: “It is an amazing achievement for Sourced Living to have already welcomed 12 new franchisees at the halfway stage of 2026, with four more franchisees almost ready to sign up in the next couple of weeks. These are high quality entrepreneurs and their enthusiasm, ambition and commitment to building relationship-led property franchises is evident, as is their desire to secure business growth through acquisition.
“Our Assisted Acquisition Programme is unlike any other that is available on the market. The fact that Sourced investors can provide 100% funding for the right acquisition opportunities ensures that our new franchisees not only have the business model and support needed to succeed but are also in a strong position to grow their businesses very quickly. This makes the Sourced Living offering a very exciting prospect for investors and for prospective franchisees.”
