Meet Hayley

I head up the sales and marketing department for the Cotswolds region. I am involved right from the beginning when we are looking at land opportunities. I will consider if the site is in an area we think would be saleable and suggest pricing. We mark out a sales area prior to planning to ensure we are in the most visible spot and have show homes that represent the mix on offer. We brief in and produce the sales brochures. We then brief in and implement signage, sales office and interior design for the show homes and sales area. We then market and launch the development. We set targets for the teams to sell houses at the best price possible, sell choices and achieve 5* customer satisfaction. I ensure the team follow our great customer journey to give us the best possible chance of delivering a 5* service. We come up with marketing strategies and campaigns to enable us to hit sales targets and brand awareness. We work closely with solicitors and IFA’s to get the reservations to a timely exchange and completion date.

I started working for Bovis homes in March 2016. I’ve been in my current role since January 2022.

The people – I feel so lucky to work alongside such a great bunch of hardworking people. All colleagues right up to CEO are approachable and encouraging. I strongly believe in our company values and have enjoyed witnessing and being part of the vast improvements made since joining Bovis homes in 2016. It is a great feeling to be proud of where you work and passionate about what we do.

Since joining I have been Area Sales Manager for four years and five months, Group Sales Manager (change project secondment) for one year, then Area Sales Director for seven months. I was then seconded to Regional Sales and Marketing Director at the start of this year which has now been made permanent.

Becoming a Director at 35. I have worked in the industry for 15 years since I was 20 years old and have always had ambitions to become a Sales Director.

The people and the culture. We all work very hard to hit targets and deliver the KPI’s set for us, and I genuinely feel that we are rewarded and recognised for that. I have been able to realise my ambitions alongside having my son in 2018 and will be forever grateful for the support and flexibility I have been offered over the years.

Hard work, working as a team and living the company values.

Do it! Why wouldn’t you want to join a company who has great values, rewards and recognises hard work and has huge opportunities for progression around the group. Our Senior Management all believe in the company and its future and strive daily to make Vistry a better place to work, be one of the top performing housebuilders in the country and deliver great customer satisfaction.
