THE William Porteous empire isexpanding with the arrival of threenew staffers.
Among those joining Perth’shighest-profile real estate agent isJody Fewster, daughter of Perthbusinessman Alan Bond.
One of Australia’s richest men inthe 1980s following a string of high-profile acquisitions, Mr Bond wasdeclared bankrupt in 1992 beforeroaring back last year to be namedamong the top 200 wealthiestpeople in Australia by BRWmagazine, with an estimated networth of $265 million.
Jody told Residential there wereadvantages to being Alan’sdaughter.
“I had a privileged upbringingand a wonderful internationaleducation,” she said. “As aconsequence, I developed a broadnetwork of both business andsocial contacts. I also met myhusband, Damian Fewster, throughdad’s involvement with theAmerica’s Cup.’’
Damian was a bow man onAustralia II when in 1983 it becamethe first challenger to win the Cupin 132 years of racing.
The history-making yacht is nowthe centrepiece of the WAMaritime Museum in Fremantle.
Jody has had a diverse businesscareer. She started her owncustomer care consultancy inSydney a decade ago before movingback to Perth to buy, sell andrenovate luxury properties inPeppermint Grove and MosmanPark over the past eight years.
Now, she is excited aboutjoining the William Porteous
Properties International team.“I was thinking about going back
to full-time work when Willieasked me to join him,’’ she said.
“I have known him for a longtime and have a huge amount ofrespect for him.
“I appreciate the sophisticatednature of the client base. I loveselling and am very excited to beputting my energy to work.”
Jody grew up in Dalkeith and haslived in Mosman Park andPeppermint Grove for the pastnine years with her husband andtwo children.
“I love Peppermint Grove for itsproximity to the river and beachand the Napoleon Street shops andrestaurants,’’ she said.
“The eclectic architecture onlarge blocks also appeals to me.
“Being married to a builder whois also a yachtsman means we alsoenjoy the Royal Freshwater Bay
Yacht Club and parkland along theriver’s edge.”
Another fresh face to join theteam at William Porteous is thefounder’s son, Andrew.
After returning from the UK lastyear, AndrewPorteous beganwork withdeveloper SavilleAustralia, sellingprojects off theplan, beforedeciding the timewas right to joinhis father’scompany.
“I was educatedin the UK, studied in Tokyo for fiveyears at Sophia University andspeak fluent Japanese,” he said.
“Post graduation, I worked forthe Welsh government lookingafter the Japanese companies inWales for two years.
“After that, I returned to Perthfor four years and was involved inthe security alarm business andthen water purification business.
“In 2000, I returned to Londonand was involved in the health and
fitness industry for eight years,following my passion for sport,health and wellness.
“Now, I’m ready for a newchallenge – real estate.
“I am extremely excited to bejoining my father.
“Many people suggested that Ijoin him years ago, but it never feltthe time was right. Now, it doesfeel right. I look forward to a longcareer with the company.”
William Porteous has alsowelcomed Mark Dimmock to theteam.
For the past four years, Markhas been working in vehicle saleswith Toyota.
“I started out on the showroomfloor and then moved intomanagement, gaining experiencemanaging a sales team with strictmonthly budgets,’’ he said.
“I’ve always had an interest inreal estate though, and I’m thrilledto have an opportunity to get moreinvolved in the industry.
“Willie is the best in theindustry. To work within hisagency and learn from him is thegreatest opportunity I could hopefor.’’ ■

Relax in a stylish home that’s as comfortable as Flannel pyjamas
IT IS no surprise that top Perth designerKristy Lawrence's home is elegant andstylish yet relaxed and comfortable.
The same words can easily be applied tothe clothes Kristy designs for Flannel, herclothing label that was recently awardedthe inaugural V Australia New GenerationRockstar Scholarship. Kristy said she wasgob-smacked when Flannel received theaward at theRosemount FashionWeek in Sydney.
Kristy received theaward fromAustralian designerAlex Perry and JackieBrander, owner ofthe Californiandepartment store,Fred Segal Fun,famous for discovering the latest fashionlabels.
Kristy will now be flown to LA to bementored by Brander and other US fashionexecutives who will assist in theinternational promotion of Flannel. Themotivation behind her label Flannel was tocreate a lifestyle range that was effortlessand relaxed. Echoing this philosophy,Kristy's newly built Cottesloe home isequally about easy-care living.
“Everything about this home is lowmaintenance,” Kristy said, who besidesrunning a business is mother to three small
children. It's really easy to look after andyou can just lock it up and go away, whichreally suits us.”
Even the solar heated pool is self-cleaning and the garden is minimal andwater-wise. Stunning wood veneercabinetry and cream Caesar stone benchtops give the bathrooms, the laundry andthe kitchen the same sleek, uncluttered
look.Miele kitchen
appliances and afully integratedLieber double fridgehidden amongst awall of high glosswhite cabinetry addto the sleekness ofthe kitchen, whichis kept light and
sunny by ceiling-height glass windows anddoors. The open-plan living area, whichcurrently doubles as Kristy's office, leads onto an elevated deck that overlooks the pooland the pine trees of Cottesloe.
Upstairs an even better treetop view canbe enjoyed from the balcony off the secondliving room, with cafe blinds keeping thestrong sea breezes at bay.
On balmy nights bi-fold doors allow thefresh sea air to reach the master suite,which has a gorgeous ensuite bathroom, anextra deep bath and a shower that's builtfor two. ■

LUXURY LIVINGGift registry thatkeeps it simpleTHERE is quite possibly nothing worsethen being invited to a wedding andagonising over what to buy the bride andgroom.
Something about a department storebridal registry screams ‘pretentious’ and‘over zealous’ to many couples and forthat reason, they elect not to have one.
Such was the case for Hannah Beazleyand her husband Andrew Canion fouryears ago.
When planning their wedding, thecouple discovered an interstatecompany that offered a unique andconvenient approach to wedding giftsand they decided to fill the niche inPerth.
The Wedding List Co offers amodern solution to wedding shopping.
The online company is a freespecialist gift registry that allows couplesto choose from over 10,000 gifts across300 brands to create their wish list.
Couples can opt to select the giftspurely from the website or meet withHannah over a glass of champagne at theLeederville store to sit down and mullover choices.
The whole procedure takes less thantwo hours.
From exclusive Missoni furnishings tohoneymoon contributionsto Nintendo Wiiconsoles, everycouple’stastes arecateredfor.
Ambitiousgrooms can even ask
for an Aston Martin sports car, althoughHannah said no-one ever had.
“The most popular gifts are still thedinnerware and cutlery,” she said.
“Couples tend to want traditionalgifts that will last.”
She said that although many couplescame into the store, the online aspect ofthe business had gone crazy in the pastsix to 12 months.
The Wedding List Co also offerscouples the ability to manage the listsonline by adding and deleting items.
Guests can also buy online at any timeor can purchase gifts over the phone.
Finally, The Wedding List Co givescouples the option of having their giftswrapped or delivered in Wedding ListCo environmentally-friendly bags.
Next time the inspiration is lacking,let your fingers do the walking.
