Dee Hall

Dee joined ERL in 2009, at the start of its venture into retirement living, as Sales Manager for Boughton Hall. She is dedicated to offering full support and assistance to all our customers, from their initial 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 took up her position with ERL.

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.

Married with an adult daughter, Dee enjoys spending time with family and friends and any travel that involves a passport!

Nicola Crawley

Nicola joined the ERL team in 2009 as one of the original Duty Managers at our Chester Village, Boughton Hall. She brings a wealth of experience, ideas and passion which have helped to shape and nurture the place it is today. After eight years of hard work, loyalty and compassion, Nicola was promoted to the position of General Manager. Prior to embarking on a successful career within the hospitality industry, Nicola studied hospitality and institutional management at college, where she gained various care, book-keeping and management qualifications.

Food, drink, nature and family are amongst Nicola’s passions outside of work, which also include music and getting back to nature glamping in different countries with her husband John, who is ERL’s Executive Chef, and their son. Nicola has an important goal – helping hedgehogs return to their natural habitat – and hopes that the addition of a hedgehog house within the grounds of Boughton Hall will help her achieve this.

Life is very busy in the Crawley household, passionate foodies on a never-ending search for something new and exciting with a love of gardening, nature and family.

Alongside this, she also completed voluntary work in day centres for Age Concern and helped with cookery lessons in a local school before becoming one of the Boughton Hall team.

When off duty, Melissa likes to attend a variety of gym classes and enjoys walking to discover new locations. However, she doesn’t let that get in the way of her passion for food and drink and is always on the lookout for new places to try, particularly enjoying exploring different countries and trying local cuisines.
