Henry Adams Simply News Homes has welcomed Martin Leggett as head of their New Homes sales operation based out of Chichester.

Martin joins from his former role at Barratt David Wilson, Southern Counties, where he was Head of Sales and Marketing for the past 10 years. Previously, Martin had spent 13 years at Barratt before working as a Sales Director for a leading developer in Manchester and re-joining Barratt David Wilson in 2012.

Martin said, “Henry Adams is a very professional brand that has built an excellent reputation over the years. When I first met the senior leadership team, I was very impressed with the way they operate. The ethos is friendly and welcoming but very focused at the same time.

“I’m looking forward to this new venture where I can bring my experience and skills to support our wide variety of developer clients, ranging from national PLCs to one-off projects.”

Martin will be working closely with Susan Wadsworth, equity partner and current lead of the New Homes department, to extend the area covered by Henry Adams Simply New Homes. He will also work collaboratively with the company’s Development Land & Planning team.

Susan added: “Martin is used to working at the fast pace our housebuilder clients and customers have come to expect so I’m sure he’ll hit the ground running. This is a huge opportunity to take the reins.”
