SKIPTON PROPERTIES LIMITED - Key Persons
I've worked for Skipton Properties for 28 years! I first met Brian, our founder, over 30 years ago, helping him on some of the company's first developments.
Today, I manage all of our Civils work, so a lot of what I do goes unseen by our customers. I also manage all of our plant machinery; we're a little bit different to other developers in that we own a lot of our own machinery, which means we can take on challenging developments with difficult topography. I love what I do, there's always a challenge, but the finished homes we build make it all worth it.
‘I have worked in the accounts team now for 3 years, mainly carrying out administrative tasks for sub-contractor and staff wages. I work here part time and in my free time love to exercise!'
Job Titles:

Having lived in the Skipton area my whole life I like to think I know a lot about the areas in which we build.
