Land manager appointment boosts Homes by Esh team

Nick Bradshaw-Hughes has joined Esh Group’s private housebuilding division, Homes by Esh.

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 the North East, Tees Valley and North Yorkshire.

Nick 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 benefitting from available funds and a lean structure, meaning we can act quickly and decisively to benefit landowners.”

Homes by Esh currently has four live developments across the North of England with the 400-home West Park Garden Village in Darlington being the largest in its portfolio. The most recent site to launch is Mount Park in Gateshead’s Springwell Village.

“We aim to build neighbourhoods where communities can thrive by placing emphasis on public open space throughout our developments. Many house types feature reconstituted stone, creating a traditional design coupled with premium interiors and the latest technology,” added Nick.

Nick joins the County Durham-headquartered company following a 10-year stint working for registered social housing providers.

Colin Willetts, Homes by Esh’s deputy managing director, commented: “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.”

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."
