Northumberland housing developer Ascent Homes has revealed four fresh appointments within its sales team.

The new roles aim to cater to the growing demand for its property portfolio within Northumberland.

The company has welcomed Siobhan Hope as the head of sales and marketing, Peter Dawson and Karen McArthur as sales managers, and Lauren Sykes as a sales executive.

The latest inclusions brings the total number of the sales team to seven.

Bringing 16 years of experience to her position, Ms Hope has served housing developers including Barratt Homes, Persona Homes, and Gentoo Homes.

She initially came on board as a sales manager and was subsequently promoted to head of sales and marketing this year.

Ms Hope said: "Having historically worked for National House Builders, joining the team at Ascent Homes has been such a refreshing experience.

"Its projects centre around building a better Northumberland and enriching every community we operate in.

"I'm enthusiastic about contributing to the expansion of Ascent Homes' sales team, facilitating our ongoing growth, and developing homes that have a positive impact on the North East and showcase the beauty of the region."

Collectively contributing 24 years of sector experience to their new positions, sales managers Peter Dawson and Karen McArthur are set to support the progress of the burgeoning team’s sales executives, including the newest recruit, Lauren Sykes.

Ms McArthur said: "I’m delighted to be a part of the growing team at Ascent Homes and excited about my future as we continue to deliver new developments, with sites in Berwick-Upon-Tweed, Bellingham and Hadston launching later this year."

Mr Dawson added: "Not only do our properties boast contemporary design and aesthetics, but they are also a sound investment that will offer the buyer efficiency, reduced energy costs, and inbuilt solutions for years to come."

Ascent Homes, the house-building arm of Advance Northumberland, is currently recruiting for several roles across the organisation.
