People: Homes by Esh and Hatch
North of England housebuilder, Homes by Esh, has strengthened its commercial team with the appointment of a new land manager.
Nick Bradshaw-Hughes will bolster the future offering of Homes by Esh by generating and accelerating development opportunities across North Yorkshire, the North East and Tees Valley.
He said: “I have joined the team at an exciting time, last year was one of the most successful years in company history and this record sales performance has continued into 2022.
“Higher sales generate an increased need for new developments and strategic land purchases, which is my priority.
“We want to bring superior, high specification homes to more areas of the region therefore brownfield or greenfield sites with detail or outline planning status are of interest to us.
“Developable sites are in high demand, but Homes by Esh is a privately owned company benefiting from available funds and a lean structure, meaning we can act quickly and decisively to benefit landowners.”
He joins the company following a 10-year stint working for registered social housing providers.
Colin Willetts, Homes by Esh’s deputy managing director, said: “Nick brings with him a wealth of experience in land acquisition and will be a huge asset to the team here at Homes by Esh.
“Moving forward we wish to continue our period of organic growth and seek to build on our land portfolio throughout this year and into the future.”
