Wavensmere Homes sales and marketing director joins Marketing Derby Board of Directors

Donna Smith, sales and marketing director of Derby housebuilders, Wavensmere Homes, has been appointed to the Board of Directors for Marketing Derby. Wavensmere Homes has well over 1,500 homes on site or proposed across four locations within Derby, including its £175m Nightingale Quarter scheme – one of the city’s major urban regeneration projects.

The invitation to join the Board of Directors came from John Forkin MBE, the Managing Director of Marketing Derby. Founded in 2006, the award-winning, non-profit organisation exists to promote Derby as a great place to live, work, and do business. The organisation’s key focus is inward investment in Derby to drive its continuing growth and development.

Donna Smith joined Wavensmere Homes as sales and marketing director in 2018. Prior to this, she held a senior director role at Connells, one of the largest estate agents in the UK. Donna has played an integral role in Wavensmere Homes’ investment in Derby, establishing firm relationships with both the business community and home buyers. Donna has become a known ambassador for the city’s regeneration, and champions it as a thriving place to call home and invest in.

John Forkin MBE, Managing Director of Marketing Derby, said: “We’re thrilled to have Donna join the Board of Directors for Marketing Derby. Wavensmere Homes is making a huge investment in our city, with over £250m of development activity.

“The housebuilding firm has become not just part of enhancing the cityscape visually, but Donna and the rest of the team have shown a real passion and commitment to supporting our city. This is seen through their successful regeneration of historic landmarks, the delivery of quality new homes, and through their passion for what our city as a whole has to offer.

“Donna joins us as the residential development representative on the Board and will play an integral part in our continued work to support Derby’s economic growth and success.”

Donna Smith, sales and marketing director at Wavensmere Homes, said: “Having worked closely with John and the team for the past few years – as Wavensmere Homes has immersed itself into the fantastic city of Derby – it’s a privilege to now join Marketing Derby’s Board of Directors.

“Since we first started the remediation and construction work at Nightingale Quarter four years ago, we’ve really seen Derby flourish. There’s no doubt in the increasing demand for quality homes from local people and those wanting to move into or back to the city, and we are proud to be playing an integral part in supplying that demand.

“I’m passionate about supporting Derby on its continuing journey of growth and development, and Wavensmere Homes will be actively regenerating and building here for many years to come.”
