Before joining Persimmon, Jorden worked in estate agency, gaining a thorough knowledge of the East Anglian property market.

Anglia regions managing director Michelle Baker added: “Jorden is a real asset to the Anglia regional business and its customers.

“For us, nothing is more important than helping customers to secure the keys to their dream home. Jorden works effortlessly with the construction and sales teams to ensure we can deliver the best possible experience for every person who buys a Persimmon home.

“He is very ably supported by Charlotte, Louisa and Lauren, who together co-ordinate the sales process across all our new homes developments.”

Senior field sales manager Charlotte Cunningham, aged 34, joined Persimmon in 2014 as a sales advisor before being promoted to field sales manager, giving her an in-depth understanding of the customer buying journey from on-site into head office.
