Craig Hallam appointed as New Homes Director for Badger Holdings

Craig Hallam has been appointed as the New Homes Director for Badger Holdings, parent company to Townends and Regents estate agents.

Craig entered the property industry 22 years ago working for a small independent estate agent in Warwickshire. From there he progressed through the corporate ranks to branch and area manager, until 2001 when he moved to a company as their Property Director managing accommodation contracts for local and central government. This involved managing hundreds of properties across the UK at any one time. Craig then operated in a business development role working with house builders providing solutions to speed up sales across the UK, and joined Badger Holdings in January 2010.

In his spare time Craig enjoys golf, Formula 1, football and is an avid reader. Craig lives with his partner, Emma, in Wimbledon and they are expecting their first baby, a little girl, in May so will be moving soon to accommodate the new arrival.

On joining the company, Craig commented, “I am immensely proud to be joining Badger Holdings Ltd. Having worked alongside Séamus Kavanagh, I have a huge amount of respect for him and the businesses he runs. I consider it a great honour to be heading up New Homes, with a view to expand the business and also develop additional investment products going forward.”

Badger Holdings will be opening a new homes showroom in Woking in the spring which Craig sees as a great step forward for the company. He adds, “I see the Woking office as a centre of excellence providing a professional service for developers across the south east. It will support them in their growth with innovative and dedicated service, and will be right behind the branch network in ensuring Townends and Regents remain estate agents of choice.”
