New appointment to boost Larkfleet’s sales

Jason Colmer has joined Bourne-based house builder and developer Larkfleet Group to help boost sales of homes on the company’s government-funded developments.

Colmer has been appointed as sales director designate to focus initially on Larkfleet Groups’ Kickstart funded developments. Kickstart is a government initiative that helps mothballed housing schemes get back on track through funding from the Homes & Communities Agency (HCA).

He will focus on sales of properties available on the HomeBuy Direct scheme and open market sales on these developments as Larkfleet Homes aims to continue to achieve a ‘market leading’ sales rate over the next eighteen months.

In his previous employment as sales and marketing director at Taylor Wimpey, Colmer successfully exceeded sales targets and developed sustained growth for the business.

He said: “I am delighted to join Larkfleet Group as sales director designate. I look forward to helping the company achieve even higher sales on its Kickstart funded developments. The properties for sale on the open market are of an incredibly high standard.”

Karl Hick, managing director of the group, added: “Jason is a highly competent sales and marketing person with a track record of excellent performance against targets. I am delighted to welcome Jason to Larkfleet Group and am sure he will prove to be a fantastic addition to the team here.”

Larkfleet Group is currently developing three Kickstart funded sites – one in Eye, one in Oakham and one in Bourne – all with properties for sale under the HomeBuy direct scheme and on the open market. The sites will provide over 180 homes built to an enhanced energy efficiency standard, which will allow residents to benefit from lower fuel bills.
