Bargate appoints first marketing manager

Hampshire-headquartered housebuilder Bargate has appointed Natalie Williams to the newly created role of marketing manager as the business celebrates its 20th anniversary.

Natalie joins from the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes, where she was marketing and PR manager, and previously spent a decade working in media agency roles, including as account director at Fareham-based Precision Creative and Media.

In her new role, Natalie will manage Bargate’s marketing department and oversee online and offline campaigns, content and marketing collateral across its portfolio of residential developments.

Natalie said: “Joining the Bargate team in this new role is really exciting. 

“The company is already well known for constructing prime developments in aspirational locations, designing beautiful spacious family homes that blend into their scenic surroundings, and the huge emphasis on the customer’s journey. 

“I’m keen to tell the story of the hand-picked exclusivity of owning a Bargate home across a wide range of media platforms and interfaces.”

Natalie’s appointment follows a period of growth for Bargate, which launched its 100th development last year alongside a refreshed brand and new website.

The five-star HBF-rated housebuilder delivered 230 homes during the 2025/26 financial year and has live planning applications representing a total gross development value of around £460 million.

Andrew French, sales and marketing director of Bargate, added: “Appointing an experienced industry professional to head up our marketing department reflects the ongoing investment in the Bargate brand. 

“Upgrading and aligning our brand positioning has been increasingly important in a challenging market, so that customers fully appreciate the legacy and commitment to excellence that is fundamental to each Bargate development and individual home.

“With a handful of highly exciting developments to launch, together with increased investment in design, ESG, customer experience and our strategic land portfolio, we’re set up for continued sustainable growth. 

“Bringing Natalie on board is a great addition to our in-house team.”
