Rain Brooks founded a business called Brooks Estates, which is a very successful sustainable property management company.
Her ethos centre’s on sustainability and community.
Brooks estates has an in-house ecologist that works with the groundskeepers to maximize the land that they manage, to encourage native wildlife and natural ecosystems. Their ambition is to help local people get the most out of where they live.
Rain is also a champion for the women she employs, offering training on the job and flexible working hours for women with babies or young children.
Rain is important to me as I have witnessed her determination and frustration at learning her craft of business management working for other people. For the past 20 years. Always ambitious, she asked to be trained or educated, in different aspects of the work but was never offered the chance to fulfil her true potential. Until she took a huge chance, and founded Brooks Estates 2-3 years ago.
I am so proud of her as she is my daughter and a single mother of three children. She is hard working and a genuine caring authentic woman. Rain was born in Cornwall and lives in Cornwall. She employs local people and works with local green charities.
She loves nature and works with Cornwall Wildlife Trust . She especially likes beavers and we have visited them at Cornwall Beaver project.
She also loves bats and her King Charles cavalier, Valentino .
