Newton gravitates towards Belvoir Lettings

Belvoir Lettings, the Lincolnshire-headquartered property franchiser, has appointed Mark Newton as a director.

Formerly the Group CEO of Newton Fallowell, a franchised network across the Midlands with 31 outlets that Belvoir acquired in July 2015, Newton, has extensive experience in property sales and lettings having enjoyed a 30 year career in the sector. He spent 13 years with Black Horse Agencies which he joined in 1984 and was Managing Director of Legal & General Estate Agents Ltd from 1997 to 1999, responsible for 80 owned and 150 franchised branches, before founding Newton Fallowell. Since their acquisitions, Newton has been responsible for the continued management and growth of the Newton Fallowell and the Goodchilds’ networks.

Mike Goddard, chairman and CEO of Belvoir, said: “With his deep understanding of estate agency and of growing a successful franchising network, Mark’s appointment both strengthens and broadens the expertise on the Belvoir Board. We are delighted to welcome Mark to the team and look forward to the additional benefit that his wealth of knowledge will bring as Belvoir delivers on its multi brand strategy and value creation for shareholders.”
