Heather Hilder-Darling
Managing Director

 

I trained as a bi-lingual secretary in French & German (with a  smattering of Spanish), after which followed a 6 year slot abroad in France, Belgium and Italy working for companies such as ITT, EMI, Bahlsen Biscuits and the European Broadcasting Union.

In 1995 I joined Bob to help with the accounts and now of course, the rest is history. 
 
Brand New Homes UK was just a concept in 2000, but now has a burgeoning product range, from on-line listing to Full Agency and Marketing Consultancy.
I love the business - its challenges, excitement, and growth. Dealing with property is always a pleasure, from sourcing the land to being involved with Interior Designers. It's also difficult not to live and breathe the company 24 hours a day when you're involved in a family business, but I still manage to find time to play tennis, have a reasonable golf handicap, and learn Spanish.

Julie-Ann Healy

Project Manager

 

After graduating with a degree in Economics and Public Media I spent happy years with companies like BPB Industries, Touche Ross and Identex. 

In 2002 inspired by the concept of buying new homes on-line, I joined Land & Brand New Homes as part of the marketing team. My role within this sector has focussed on both corporate and client facing responsibilities. Internally I have played a key role in formulating and implementing strategic and tactical marketing plans. These have involved internal and external communication, customer retention and acquisition, and building brand awareness through a myriad of marketing activity including PR, radio, cinema, exhibitions and direct mail campaigns.

 

On the client facing side, I have implemented integrated marketing campaigns for property developers including development launches and on-going media campaigns. This activity has included all aspects of the marketing mix, liasing with external agencies, reporting and analysis, and working to agreed budgets and timescales.

 

My interests include my family, walking, swimming, food and wine and travel.

Nicki Keeley

On-line Marketing Executive/Key Account Manager

My background is in the financial service industry, having spent many years in a variety of roles in pension administration. I also  enjoyed being a PA in the IFA Department at MGM Assurance, where I was responsible for the coordination of many aspects of Sales & Marketing for the IFA team.

I have been with the Land & Brand New Homes team for over two years. My initial role was Sales & Marketing Coordinator and subsequently Key Account Manager. I am committed to having a key role in promoting our business and in turn, providing a dedicated and professional service to all of our clients.

 

I was asked to take the on-line marketing position, which has been a very rewarding challenge. The highlight was being involved in the launch of our brand new website!  

 
My interests include music, travel, the gym (when I can get motivated) and supporting Portsmouth FC. I have two ginger cats, who are spoilt rotten!

Claire Pritchard
Marketing Executive 

 

I am delighted to have just re-joined the Land & Brand New Homes team following maternity leave and a career break of 2 years, caring for my two young daughters.

Having been a Key Account Manager with Land & Brand New Homes in the past, experiencing the great challenges and rewards that working here brings, I was delighted to be welcomed back.

My background is fundamentally in the financial services industry, in various marketing roles, with a short spell in retail healthcare as Marketing Manager before joining the team here in May 2005. I have a varied skill set and am looking forward to using this in my new role as Market Executive. An interesting role which fuels my passion for property and all things related!

I am incredibly fortunate to be able to balance this role with caring for my family. I spend my time away from work enjoying my children, keeping fit with regular long walks by the beach, shopping and indulging my love of glossy magazines!

Knowing that it's difficult for homebuyers to decide on the selection of new homes offered, Hannah judges and rates the development in a number of different ways:
