Liza Kouppari, Operations Assistant

Liza was born in Islington, N1. Shortly after finishing her education she went into the travel industry working for a specialist West End marine travel company. Liza’s high level of customer service and ability to deal with demanding business clients lead to a move to an in-house position as a Senior Business House Consultant for a large city based American Insurance Company. Starting a family meant that Liza wanted to work closer to home and took a Business House Manager role at a more locally based and well respected firm. After 15 years in the industry Liza wanted a new challenge in a different sector and took an Operations Manager role in an exciting and rapidly growing property management company. Her experience with corporate and high profile clients meant that Liza was the natural choice for the Operations Assistant role with the Garrington London team where she ensures that London client searches run smoothly and are efficiently supported.
