About Me.
Annabel Upton - Personal Profile
Hi, I'm Annabel Upton and I am the founder and owner of Lifestyle Property Investments (LPI).
I have a degree in Business Management and a previous career in corporate Procurement managing the risk and strategy of a portfolio budget +£30 Million. This was for a UK wide market leading food manufacturing company - investment company owned funnily enough.
I worked in corporate procurement for around 7 years.
Since 2020 I've gained hands on experience in the property world investing and developing houses with my partner Richard (Owner of LPS), from flip properties to Buy to Lets which is where our personal strategy sat.
As a result of our success and passion for the wider property industry, I have left my procurement career and am now fully invested and focused on LPI, creating property opportunities for investors like us in the Doncaster area using all my previous wider business and personal property knowledge.
