Sean Bailey 

Served with the British army for 10 years from leaving school gaining a lot of experience as I moved through the ranks upon leaving the forces I set up my own successful locksmith company. And now I am looking forward to the next chapter in my career.

Matthew McConnell

I believe this new venture will challenge us both with Sean being head of operations and Matthew head of finance. Combining our skills together we will be able to provide excellent service to hosts and guests.

We have both lived in the centre of County Durham all our lives and have seen it change so much for the better. County Durham is an amazing County in the north east just 3 hours by train from London and less then 2 hours to Edinburgh. And with Newcastle and Durham Tees Valley international airports nearby, plus the port of the Tyne, a warm welcome awaits visitors from across the globe.

Durham City is home of one of the most recognisable landmarks in the UK, Durham Cathedral. Set back in time attractions such as Beamish Museum and Kynren. And you can't forget about the hidden gems in the Durahm Dales towns and villages, relax and enjoy the peace and tranquillity on the Durham coast.

What drew you to partnering with Pass the Keys?

I was looking for a short term let managing company to manage some of my rentals when I came across Pass The Keys.

Straight away they should be out from the rest of the companies. I filled out a form to calculate what income they could bring for them to come back to say they didn't have an agent available in my area. Within minutes another email came over to see if I would be interested in partnering with them. The next day I booked a meeting with my accountant to look it over, which didn't take long to convince him to become a business partner and pursue the idea of becoming part of Pass The Keys.
