LEADING housebuilder Lovell Homes has bolstered its sales function in the East Midlands with the appointment of Dawn Bennett, who joins as regional sales director.

Dawn brings more than 20 years of experience in new home sales, with a clear focus on strengthening the region’s housing offer and driving growth. Her role will focus on spearheading Lovell’s sales strategy in the region, enhancing buyer experience across developments, as well as driving the delivery of Lovell’s expanding development portfolio.

Most recently, she was sales and marketing director at Avant Homes, with more than four years of experience in that role, having worked her way up through the sales team within the business. This blend of sales and marketing experience will feed into her new role at Lovell, where Dawn will lead the development of the right strategies to connect potential homeowners with their right fit home.

Speaking on her new role, Dawn said: “This job is about more than just selling houses – its helping people find their dream homes, but also creating places that people don’t just live, but thrive. Throughout my career, this has been the backbone of my focus and having seen Lovell grow in the region throughout the past few years with this same focus, joining the team was a clear choice for me.

“As I step into my new role, the delivery of high-quality homes that focus on longevity and sustainability, along with the creation of thriving communities, will continue to be at the top of the agenda for us. With a collection of diverse developments in our back pocket, it’s an exciting time for myself and the team as we continue to drive the growth of both Lovell and the housing market in the East Midlands.”

For Lovell in the East Midlands, Dawn’s appointment comes at a transformative time as the regional team continues to expand, with a focus on its ongoing commitment to growing the region’s housing market, delivering both blossoming communities and much-needed affordable housing.

Beth Bundonis, regional managing director at Lovell said: “Dawn’s extensive experience and knowledge is an invaluable addition to our growing team and it’s an exciting time for us as she drives the continued growth of our sales function and strategy.

“As we work towards bolstering our high- quality housing offering even further, I’m looking forward to seeing Dawn make an even bigger impact than she has already, with her steadfast commitment to delivering our wide-ranging housing offering, as well as the wider development of our East Midlands sales team.”
