Castle Green Homes Appoints Senior Land Manager
Castle Green Homes has appointed a new senior land manager.
James Hampson was recently appointed to the role at the housebuilder, which has offices at St Asaph and Preston Brook.
The company currently has sites across North Wales, Cheshire and the Liverpool City Region, but is looking to expand the geographic spread of the sites it develops to include Greater Manchester, North Staffordshire and North Shropshire.
James said: "Castle Green have an excellent reputation for acquiring new land opportunities, having secured several high-profile sites across the North West and North Wales. It's clear how streamlined the decision-making process is and the ability to be agile is certainly one of the many reasons for their competitiveness in the land market.
"One of the main challenges most land buyers face at the moment is the availability of land. There’s also a high number of housebuilders operating in the North West, making the land market incredibly competitive in this region."
James started his career as a land buyer for Bowsall Developments, before moving on to Countryside Properties, initially as senior land buyer, then land manager. His most recent role before joining Castle Green was land manager at Miller Homes.
