Meet the Team

James Nicholls

(BSc Hons) - Managing Director

James in his role as Managing Director heads up the company here at Norfolk Homes Ltd.

Working with our Site & Sales management teams, James oversees all elements of the process including the release and marketing of houses, agreeing sales, progression of the sale to exchange/completion and also the after-sales care process.

“At Norfolk Homes we pride ourselves on giving the best sales experience possible from start finish; we strive to achieve this with every sale. The positive feedback we receive from purchasers, gives us all enormous pleasure."

Working with Craig Lockwood, the Land & Planning Manager, James oversees the procurement of both immediate and strategic land, the promotion of land through the planning process and the enabling of build commencement on site.

“A fundamental part of any house building company is the securing of potential sites, and we only want the best, sites that will provide a great location to build a new community. We have a track record of successfully delivering both immediate and strategic land opportunities across Norfolk, and we pride ourselves on building longstanding relationships with landowners in order to maximise the potential of their land.

We are continually on the lookout for both immediate (sites with existing planning consent) and longer-term strategic land opportunities (without planning) to bring forward and promote.

If you would like to discuss a potential opportunity with us please do not hesitate to contact me or Craig Lockwood via the details on our contact us page.”
