Becoming a Sales Executive for luxury housebuilder Harron Homes has been an exciting career change for Laura Baylis – and a challenge she has really relished.
Laura, who lives with her partner in Alfreton, Derbyshire, and originally comes from Chelmsford, Essex, has recently joined the team at Harron’s Thornberries development in Matlock.
For almost five years before starting her exciting new career with Harron, Laura had been a Manager and Team Leader in the catering industry.
“While working for a national chain, I was named the second-highest rated manager in the UK for sales satisfaction,” Laura explains, “so it’s fair to say that I’m a very competitive person!
“It’s true that there’s always been a sales element to my previous job, but I viewed making a move to Harron as an opportunity to be involved in something really meaningful. Helping people to find their perfect home is really important, and it’s something that I thrive on.”
“What first appealed to me about Harron as an employer was the professionalism of their online profile,” she continues. “There’s lots of really useful information available on the website, and after reading about homebuyers’ experiences in testimonials, I realised that I wanted to help people find their dream home with Harron.
“Settling into my new role has been made so much easier by how fantastic my colleagues have been in supporting me. I’ve been through Harron’s intensive training process, which has proved invaluable and has already helped me sell my first home!”
She adds: “My favourite home at the development would be the Edlingham. I love the double staircase in the entrance hall, while the study and family room have lots of versatility, meaning there’s plenty of space to invite family and friends over!”
