One of the North East’s most experienced sales figures has joined the team at Miller Homes North East.

Lauren Angus, whose career in the house building industry spans more than 18 years, has been appointed sales director at Miller.

And among her key strengths is her knowledge of the new build market, which began when she joined the industry in 2006.

Lauren, from Sunderland, joined Miller – which currently has 10 live developments and a further four due to launch this year – from Taylor Wimpey North Yorkshire, where she held the position of sales and marketing director.

Miller, one of the North East’s leading housing developers, has announced plans to construct more than 500 homes this year as far afield as Bedlington, Durham and Seaham.

And, in the coming months, will not only bring current developments to completion, but also embark on new schemes including the opening of five new show homes designed to appeal to a variety of buyers and budgets.

Lauren’s appointment follows the announcement that Miller Homes’ regional operations director for the North East, Ryan Lincoln, will lead the company forward and Ryan said Lauren’s experience would be an “asset” to the business.

“New build homes – which can save buyers, on average, £2,200 a year on utilities alone – have never been more attractive to buyers,” he said, “and Lauren has a wealth of new build knowledge and understanding.

“I am sure that her experience, allied to the superb quality of our builds and the exceptional locations of our developments, will be a real benefit to Miller and, of course, to our buyers.”

The company recently announced a raft of offers and incentives for those looking to purchase a Miler home – from deposit matching schemes to12 months mortgage paid– and Lauren said she is “prepared to hit the ground running.

“The root to branch service that Miller provides is completely geared to making house buying as painless and as pleasurable as possible,” she said.

“I’m passionate about the importance of the customer experience and of the benefits of new builds and am very much looking forward to helping buyers identify and secure their new home.”
