Jo Callaway

Nottingham residential property development company, Hockley Developments, has appointed Jo Callaway as its new sales manager.

Callaway has worked in estate agency for 10 years, most recently as a branch manager at Haart in Newark.

She said: “I am excited to join Hockley developments, and to be a part of a growing business. I was attracted to the business because of the affordable housing available to first time buyers and the Help to buy scheme availability.

“Having worked in the estate agency industry for over 10 years, I have seen first-time buyers struggle to get onto the property ladder, so it’s a great pleasure to be able to offer affordable, stylish properties to young professionals in Nottingham.

“Nottingham has one the youngest populations in the UK, and a fast growing economy, so it’s imperative first time buyers have access to affordable housing.”
