CONTINUING demand for new homes has led to house builder Barratt York appointing five more sales staff at its developments across North and East Yorkshire.

The quintet are Belinda Revely, who lives in Boroughbridge, Janet Harrison, from Harome, near Helmsley, John Keats, who is from Whitby, Linda Louis, who lives in Beverley, and Pauline Coultas, who lives in Hull. Barratt is currently building on 20 developments throughout the area.

Sales director Paul Hogan said: "With the Yorkshire housing market so strong we have continuing demand for sensibly-priced homes in the right locations, so we're always on the lookout for new sales staff.

"Our recruits have excellent people skills and in return we offer career opportunities in an exciting and challenging industry."
