Staff to take on new roles following promotion
Pygott & Crone are proud to announce that two long serving members of its residential sales staff will be taking up new positions within the company this week.
Craig Stones will be returning to our flagship Lincoln Silver Street office to manage our expanding specialist New Homes Department. Craig joined Pygott & Crone’s Lincoln team in 2005 as a Residential Valuer before being promoted to Branch Manager of Grantham in 2012. Craig will be dealing with all aspects of the new homes market in Lincoln and surrounding areas, from plot acquisition for clients through to the promotion and sale of homes on new developments.
Our second promotion is for Ryan McGuinness who will take over Craig’s role of Branch Manager at the Grantham Office. Ryan joined Pygott & Crone in Lincoln in 2012 and quickly became the company’s top Sales Negotiator for successive years. Ryan was rewarded for his hard work and dedication with a promotion to Grantham Residential Valuer in August 2016 and will now head up the team at our Watergate branch.
Pygott & Crone Director, Kevin Scrupps, congratulated both Craig and Ryan on their new roles, saying “Under the guidance of Tim Downing our New Homes Department has seen continued development, Craig joining the team in a management role will allow the department to continue to develop. Craig brings a wealth of experience and local knowledge to the team, he’s a proven manager who achieves high levels of results and excellent customer service.”
“Ryan has fully deserved his promotion, over the last few years he has worked and gained experience by spending time at different branches. Formally our top performing Relocation Specialist and Sales Negotiator, Ryan has spent time now in the valuation role. He has previous experience of working in our Grantham team and this promotion fully recognises his excellent achievements in the company.”
