Our Team

I have been involved in the residential development industry almost since leaving school, my geographic knowledge encompasses Hertfordshire, Essex, Kent, Surrey and East and West Sussex. After spending a short time in estate agency, rising to the post of Area Manager I joined Countryside Properties PLC.

​

During my time there I was Land and Sales Manager responsible for the Southern Home Counties. In the early 1980’s I joined the Southend Estates Group as Sales Manager. Tasked with expanding the company base of 50 homes per annum to some 250 dwellings per annum, this target was achieved successfully within a few years and I was appointed to the board prior to the company being acquired by Higgs and Hill PLC.

 

I then spent a number of years focussing on my own development activities, building up to 60 homes per annum further strengthening my analytical sense, business acumen, commercial awareness and ability to deal with local and statutory authorities.

​

In 2009 Chailey Homes Ltd was incorporated for the sole purpose of identifying sites suitable for residential development. I continue to use my valuable and extensive industry knowledge and as Managing Director I am very much the leading force behind the company, managing the whole process including land sourcing, acquisition through to legal. This also compliments my extensive experience in the preparation of funding proposals, budgets, targets, supervision of site works and all aspects of sales and marketing by way of direct selling and the resources of agents.

Supported by a small and dedicated highly efficient team consisting of in-house land research and administration. Professional expertise/services e.g. architects, structural engineers, legal representatives are outsourced through known and proven contacts.
