John Faith

Non-Executive Director

"We believe developments should be viewed as 'products.' Products that enhance the lives of those who's homes they are and the community that surrounds them.

Not inanimate commodities that simply offer a function and meet industry standard."

John, an FRICS qualified surveyor, is Chairman and founding shareholder of Kitewood Estates, which he started over 20 years ago, and has since built into a successful diversified property investment and development group operating in southeast England.

He has been active as a principle in the residential industry for over 30 years, and has a wealth of knowledge, and experience of a broad range of property matters.
