Fernham Homes has named Sean Ellis as its new managing director, who joins the company after 18 years with The Berkeley Group.
The announcement comes after a successful year of award-winning schemes and a move to a new head office, marking the start of the next phase of Fernham Homes’ ambitious growth.
During his time with The Berkeley Group, Sean held the role of executive director for 11 years and was also chairman of St James Group, Berkeley Homes Eastern Counties and St William, formerly a joint venture with National Grid. Joining Fernham Homes as managing director and shareholder, Sean will also sit on the board of directors and focus on delivering the company’s planned growth.
Sean commented: “I am delighted to be joining Fernham Homes; a business that has a strong reputation and ambition to match. When I was approached by the founders of Fernham to acquire equity in the business and lead the team, I was genuinely excited by the opportunity. I was interested in the prospect of investing in a business that was established over 20 years ago and has a strong reputation for building premium homes. While they are a well-established business, there is an aspiration among all the shareholders to grow to be the housebuilder of choice in Kent. It is a really exciting time for Fernham Homes and I am delighted to be leading the business into a new chapter.”
Founded in 1999, Fernham Homes has been creating premium new homes in Kent, East Sussex and South East London for over 20 years and currently has four live developments across the three areas.
