The Team

Emily Boriosi, the grand-daughter of Ruth Austen, took over the company in 2003 and continues to strive to provide quality and unique holiday homes in idyllic locations. Born and bred in the Falmouth area, she is very proud to be Cornish and live in ‘God's Country' as her grandfather also used to say. Emily has two young children, a Jack Russell and a kite-surfing mad partner Drew. In her free time she loves to partake in a yoga class to bring a bit of calm and balance to her life.

Debbie Roberts, joined the company in June 2010 and is enjoying her time with CHC immensely. Having lived in Cornwall all her life and the Falmouth area for the past thirty years, she is finding it a pleasure to pass on local knowledge and help people locate their dream holiday home.

Dawn Thompson is married with two adult children and moved to Cornwall twelve years ago. She has been with CHC since November 2007 and originally came for three months to cover the birth of Emily's first child, but she loved it so much, she is still here. Prior to working at CHC Dawn owned and ran a holiday park on the Lizard and this experience has proved very useful in her work at CHC also.

Mole the Jack Russell, was virtually born into the CHC office on 20.11.05 and naturally thinks she owns the place, sitting on the desk in the window, looking out for anyone that might like to throw her a pine cone or two.
