Housebuilder bolsters team with two new appointments

As a result of business growth over the last 12 months, and projected future expansion, Gloucester-based housebuilder Newland Homes has appointed Vanessa Randall-Short as Field Sales Manager and Jessica Nevin as Graduate Land Buyer.

Vanessa has 12 years’ experience in managing the sales of new build developments across the region, joining from competitor Strongvox where she was Sales Manager. She has also worked for a number of other top quality regional housebuilders and developers.

Vanessa comments: “I’ve been fascinated by new build housing developments for most of my life and so a career in the industry was the perfect opportunity for me.

“The new homes market is exciting to be involved in and it’s great to work with our purchasers to ensure they get their ideal home. Newland Homes is not just your run of the mill developer; they’re different, they really do care about their customers and employees.”

Jessica has just completed her BSc Hons degree in Real Estate from the Royal Agricultural University.

As part of graduate training at Newland, Jessica will be supported through her APC training to achieve Chartered Surveyor status, as well as developing her skills of identifying and reviewing potential development land across the region.

Jessica comments: “Working in land buying appealed to me as it’s an interesting area and not your typical office job – it involves being out visiting different places and meeting a range of people.

“So far I’ve been getting to grips with Newland Homes’ current sites and those which will be starting in the near future, as well as reviewing land opportunities available for future developments. It’s definitely a fun and interesting area to work in.”
