REDROW has promoted Deborah Purchase to area sales manager, a role in which she will oversee sales of new homes at a number of developments across the West Midlands.

She originally joined Redrow in February, 2012 as a sales consultant, based at Cawston Grange in Rugby.

“I was happy working on site but when the opportunity for promotion arose I jumped at the chance as I had previously worked as an area sales manager for another housebuilder,” she explained.

She added: “This is a new challenge, particularly with new sites opening, but it’s a challenge I’m keen to embrace.”

A mother to two grown-up sons, the 46-yearold lives with husband Steve in a home they bought as a new-build 11 years ago.

“I’ve always had a love for new homes and so will be able to use my personal experience as well as my professional expertise in my new role,” she added.
