About us

We’re an award-winning‭, ‬friendly team‭ ‬based in rural Rutland‭. ‬‭ ‬

CLM was founded by Director Laura Wilson‭. During her early career she recognised a gap in the market for a specialist landrights service and carved out a role for herself working as a New Connections Manager‭ for a national firm of Chartered Surveyors‭‬. ‬In this role she was able to immerse herself in the landrights industry‭, ‬learning as she went‭, ‬before taking the leap to open her own business‭.‬

In 2014‭, ‬with the support of her husband Hamish‭, ‬Laura founded CLM and it now employs more than 20‭ ‬staff at its offices in the village of Ketton in rural Rutland‭. ‬Over the past 10‭ ‬years Laura has worked with her team to build a business which does two things‭: ‬Invests heavily in the wellbeing and development of her team‭; ‬and provides a unique‭, ‬specialist approach to delivering the landrights process for its clients‭. ‬

“Wellbeing is integrated into our office culture‭, ‬with a variety of wellness days and team activities that help us bond while promoting mental health‭. ‬Whether it’s enjoying a group walk‭, ‬gathering for lunch‭, ‬or getting creative with wreath making and candle painting‭, ‬these moments bring us‭ ‬together and remind us of the importance of balance in life‭. ‬Our pillars of wellbeing truly guide us in every area of our lives‭, ‬creating an environment where we feel cared for‭, ‬connected‭, ‬and able to thrive both personally and professionally‭.‬”‭ ‬
