Name: Carl Weekes
Title: Transaction Manager
Batchelors Location: Ripon
Hometown: Leeds born and bred—and still flying the Leeds flag proudly

If smooth deals, straight talking, and a no-nonsense approach had a poster boy, it’d be Carl Weekes. As our Transaction Manager in Ripon, Carl is the man making things happen behind the scenes—keeping everything ticking along nicely with a calm confidence that says, “don’t worry, I’ve got this.”

Hailing from Leeds and still calling it home, Carl is proof that you don’t need to go far to know exactly who you are. Solid, reliable, and quietly sharp—he’s the kind of guy who gets the job done without needing to shout about it (but we’ll do that part for him).

Carl’s motoring credentials include owning a Golf GTI—a proper driver’s car and a clear sign he appreciates performance with a bit of pedigree. These days, his taste remains just as strong… much like his food choices.

Speaking of which, when it’s time to refuel, Carl doesn’t mess about. A hearty calzone pizza or a perfectly cooked steak is his go-to—big flavours, no compromises.

Outside of work, you’ll likely find him swapping horsepower for pedal power, tackling trails on his mountain bike. Mud, hills, and a bit of adrenaline? That’s Carl’s idea of unwinding.

When it comes to holidays, Carl keeps it effortlessly cool. No over-the-top bucket lists—just the South of France, good weather, great food, and a slower pace of life. Hard to argue with that.

Musically, Carl’s got an “all of the above” approach—no favourites, no limits. If it’s playing, he’ll give it a listen. A man of variety, if nothing else.

Dependable, down-to-earth, and always on top of the detail, Carl is a key part of the team. Just don’t expect him to make a fuss about it—that’s not really his style.
