The Team

The Struminski Family

The Struminski family, with English roots and Polish heritage, has a rich history that intertwines with the events of World War II. Great Grandad Struminski, was compelled to leave Poland during the war, eventually finding refuge in Cornwall, England.

This marked the beginning of the family's longstanding connection with Cornwall. Today, the family's legacy continues through Sharon and Ivan, who reside in Cornwall and manage their property portfolio.

Their son, Aron, moved to Exeter in 2012 to attend the University of Exeter and has remained in the city since his graduation in 2015. The Struminski family places a paramount emphasis on the value of family, a principle that is deeply ingrained in their operational ethos.
