Pittis is established by Thomas Pittis as an auction house

Aldo Sotgiu

I started my career with Pittis in September 1983 as a fresh faced 19-year-old ready to take on the world. I didn’t really know what I wanted to do at that stage, other than I had an interest in property, design, and architecture. The job application for a Trainee Surveyor caught my eye and this is when it all started.

Even after all these years in the industry, I don’t have a lot of spare time, it feels like was I do is my job and my hobby at the same time, but I do love to travel, have a keen interest in cooking and of course eating!

Group Managing Director

Jason Bunning

I was incredibly lucky over thirty years ago, to be given a shot in Estate Agency. I’m incredibly grateful to have been given the opportunity to work my way through the company, provided with constant support, guidance and reward.

Being fortunate enough to have a job that is also your passion is a real blessing, but nothing is more important to me than spending time with my family, travelling, gardening and pretty much any sport you can imagine. Oh, and let’s not forget Poppy, my Cavachon, she’s an absolute legend.

Vicki James

I’ve been with Pittis for over 11 years, starting as the lettings manager. Pittis have been fantastic for my career, providing guidance, training, and support through the management program.

I love helping others grow, spotting talent, and coaching team members to reach their goals. I also enjoy being creative, solving problems, and implementing new ideas.

Outside of work, I’m a painter with a Fine Arts background and an enthusiastic gardener—this year, I’m trying my hand at growing my own fruits and veggies!

Lettings Operations Director

Gavin Welch

I’m an experienced Financial Services Director with over 30 years in the industry. My career began in retail banking, and I joined Mortgage Matters Direct in 2013, progressing through various leadership roles. I'm passionate about coaching, staff development, and sales management. Outside work, I enjoy family time, supporting Tottenham Hotspur, horse racing, cricket, and gardening. I'm also proud of my daughter’s musical achievements and my charitable efforts.

Supporting our local community

Moving forwards, together.

As the Isle of Wight’s local high-street agents, we are closely connected with our communities. We’ve helped thousands of people move forwards on their journeys on the island and passionately believe it is our duty to give back to our local communities.

Our staff regularly take part in Macmillan coffee mornings, along with fundraising through fancy dress days, marathons and just about anything else you can think of to help raise money for those who need it most.

In 2021, we hit the incredible milestone of donating over £10million to charitable causes (and counting!).

2024’s charity partner

Kissy Puppy - The Sophie Rolf Trust

This year, Pittis are proud to have selected Kissy Puppy as our charity partner.

Every year, at Pittis, we choose a charity to partner with for the year and our agents take part in some really incredible charity days, events, sports games and bake sales to help raise funds.

Kissy Puppy – The Sophie Rolf Trust was originally set up by parents Aaron and Gemma Rolf in support of their daughter Sophie, who lost her fight in November 2013. Now, Kissy Puppy – The Sophie Rolf Trust helps to support children across the Island with life shortening illnesses.
