About us

Meet the team

At ERL, we have an exceptionally committed, hands-on and long-serving team who combine the best of property expertise with genuine personal care for our customers. Every member of both the operational and sales teams has an ongoing interest and input into our villages, our properties and the service we offer to our owners.

Managing Director

Neil Davison

Neil spent his formative years training as a quantity surveyor with a Hertfordshire-based contractor, before joining a subsidiary of a listed, regionally-based development and investment company, focusing on residential development. In 1994, Neil founded Ashtenne Residential Limited – renamed Enterprise Property Group Limited (EPGL) – with the support of an established commercial property company. Neil is CEO of EPGL and Managing Director of ERL.

Married to Michele, with three grown-up children, in the little spare time he has, having failed to achieve either of his ambitions to don the No. 9 shirt for Newcastle United or become second row forward for England, Neil attends as many sporting events as possible likes and endeavours to “keep fit” albeit only in an attempt to balance his passion for socialising (food and drink!).

Head of Sales & Marketing

Hattie Bacon

Although still Sales & Marketing Director for the Enterprise group’s new-build residential company overseeing its new-build developments and being actively involved in the decision-making, Hattie now devotes most of her time to ERL in the complex process from the early design stage to final completion, then beyond into the running of the retirement villages created. Before joining EPGL in 1994, Hattie worked as an assistant accountant for a firm of management consultants and credit controller for a large regional builders’ merchants.

Hattie is married to Keith and they have two adult children. Although spending time with her family is Hattie’s favourite pastime, she also likes to relax by reading, gardening and cooking.

Head of Operations

June Callaghan

June has worked for the Enterprise group of companies since 2009. She spent nine years as General Manager at Boughton Hall, ERL’s first retirement village in Chester, and is now the national Operations Manager focused on the operational design and development for all the ERL retirement villages.

It’s June’s focus to provide the exemplary staff, quality services and operational equipment for the Villages, which together promote the efficient, secure, comfortable and life-enhancing environments which are second to none.

Having enjoyed a successful career in hospitality management, the transition to retirement village management and now operational management has been an extremely fulfilling one and June is looking forward to the wonderful ERL developments still to come.

When not spending time between ERL’s locations driving (or sometimes stationary!) on the M1, M6 or M62, or working within the retirement villages, June enjoys spending quality time with family and friends, the odd foreign holiday (next jaunt to Disney World, Florida), and keeping up to date with the World around her. June has two grown up daughters, Hayley and Rachel, two cats (often featured during online ERL meetings!) and lives happily in a converted dairy in the Cheshire countryside.

Land Manager

Chris Jackson

Having achieved a first class honours for a BSc Hons in Planning and Property Development at Nottingham Trent University, Chris joined EPGL on a permanent basis in 2015 as Acquisitions Surveyor, taking a lead in acquiring new development opportunities and gaining planning consent prior to handing the scheme over to the construction team. He then progressed to Land Manager for the group’s new-build company, Enterprise Residential Development Limited, but has now taken on the challenge of Land Manager for ERL, which involves seeking out new sites for future schemes and getting them through the long journey from acquisition to commencement of construction.

Away from the office, Chris lives with his partner Abby and their Cocker Spaniel Reginald. Combining his keen interest in cycling and socialising, Chris enjoys his annual “Tour De Pubs” cycling event visiting surrounding Cambridgeshire village pubs with friends and family. Chris and Abby also enjoyed renovating their first home together, before moving to a new-build house which requires a lot less effort.

Marketing & Compliance Manager

Wendy Fleckney

After working for 27 years, first in a secretarial capacity and later in the realms of marketing, for a multi-office firm of chartered accountants, Wendy spent five years as a legal secretary in the competition department of a large London law practice. She joined EPGL in 2005 to support the sales and marketing process, but has now moved with Hattie into the retirement division. Although she retains some of her previous responsibilities for EPGL generally, Wendy’s time is now largely spent on the varied marketing function for the retirement properties, and the compliance requirements associated with both EPGL’s new-build activities and the promotion and ongoing operation of the retirement villages.

Wendy, who has one adult son and “lives happily apart” from her long-term partner, Phil, enjoys reading, writing, entertaining friends and family, and just being at home.

Sales & Marketing Manager

Natalie Crampton

Natalie joined ERL in September 2019 having previously worked in the luxury care home industry. She also has experience of property sales from earlier employment with a large housing association, where she managed their shared ownership and full ownership sales.

With her husband, son, five step-children and six step-grandchildren, Natalie has a large family and she loves spending time with them.

Sales Manager

Dee Hall

As Sales Manager for ERL, Dee is dedicated to offering total support and assistance to all our customers, from their initial indication of interest and/or viewing of a property through to the day of completion for those who become owners, overseeing the process from start to finish.

Having spent several years working and travelling overseas, Dee returned to the UK to help set up a family mail order sports company, designing and sourcing all products both in Europe and the Far East. The company was eventually sold and, after enjoying some time out, Dee joined ERL in 2009 as part of the Sales Team at Boughton Hall in Chester.

Dee says that the best part of her job is the people she meets, who are not just buying a property but a new way of life, and the pleasure she gets seeing them embrace this in their new home.

Dee is married to Jonathan and they have a grown-up daughter who is currently travelling on a gap year. She enjoys spending time with family and friends and any travel that involves a passport!

Administration Assistant

Rhianne Davies-Pratt

Rhianne has worked in administration since leaving college in 2011. She joined ERL in September 2019 looking for a new challenge and certainly found it – her time is currently shared between ERL and ERDL, so her workload is very varied. Rhianne’s main responsibilities lie with ERL, however, dealing with the many day-to-day administrative tasks associated with running a retirement community developer and operator.

Rhianne currently lives in Bottisham with her husband Dan. They got married in the summer of 2019 so are getting used to married life and looking forward to the future. In her spare time, Rhianne enjoys going to the cinema and spending time with her family.
