Strutt & Parker announces the appointment of Kraig Butler as Director and Head of Residential Sales in the consultancy’s Gerrards Cross office – marking a significant move following 24 years at Hamptons.
Having previously headed up offices in Maidenhead, Rickmansworth and Amersham, Kraig brings over two decades of experience in the north-west Home Counties to Strutt & Parker. With a track record in opening new offices, defining fresh territories in existing branches, and expanding teams, Kraig is exceptionally well-placed to lead Strutt & Parker’s Gerrards Cross office, which last month saw a 54% increase in applicants looking to buy compared to the same time last year.
Kraig will be working closely with the established residential sales team in Gerrards Cross, who cover both the town and surrounding villages. The Gerrards Cross office has a very well-established presence in the area following the firm’s acquisition of local agents Roberts Newby in 2015. Alongside sales colleagues, Kraig will work with the office’s lettings team, New Homes teams, and the London based National Country House Department.
Simon Roberts, Head of Eastern Region at Strutt & Parker says, “We are thrilled to have such a well-regarded name joining us to lead our Gerrards Cross office. His experience across the region will no doubt prove invaluable to the team as we look to only strengthen and broaden our coverage in the area. Kraig’s knowledge and proven track record makes him a fantastic asset to both our business and our clients across the region.”
Kraig Butler, Director, Head of Residential Sales, Strutt & Parker Gerrards Cross, says, “Having operated in Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Hertfordshire for over two decades, I have long admired the Strutt & Parker brand (from a distance!) and have enjoyed occasions where we have worked collaboratively. To now be leading the Strutt & Parker Gerrards Cross office is an exciting opportunity, and I’m fortunate to be inheriting such a superb team with a wealth of experience and knowledge. Together we endeavour to further strengthen our proposition to clients in Gerrards Cross and the South Bucks and Chilterns region.”
