Agency executive marks 20 years with historic brand

Mary Beeton, head of residential sales and residential development at Hamptons is celebrating her twentieth year at Hamptons.

She is part of the company's all-female executive team and sits alongside Lesley Cairns as managing director and head of lettings Catherine Westerling.

After some record-breaking years in the Wimbledon Village branch as associate director, Beeton rose the ranks to regional director in 2010, overseeing branches in North, South, and East of London, before being promoted to head of sales for London in 2016.

In 2020 Beeton was promoted to company head of sales, with the business's newly bolstered residential development arm falling under her remit shortly after.

She is now responsible for 92 branches and 12 land and new home hubs that make up Hamptons residential sales and residential development divisions.

A keen environmentalist and passionate about the planet we call home,  Beeton also formed Project Planet in 2018.

This is an internal working group committed to making the business and its practices more sustainable.

To date, the group has planted 2,871 carbon absorbing Mangrove trees, made each of Hamptons' 96 branches a Refill station, and donated £12,000 to the Marine Conservation Society. These larger-scale changes sit alongside many other smaller, day-to-day improvements aimed to address and promote change.

Beeton said:  “It’s been such a privilege to play my part in Hamptons’ growth over the last 20 years and to work within such a supportive and ambitious business.

“The fact that those Wimbledon days feel like only yesterday evidence that time really does fly when you’re having fun.”

Cairns added: "I'd like to congratulate and thank Mary for an amazing career with endless achievements along the way.

“Her passion, drive, and ambition were apparent from the start, notably taking the Wimbledon branch to dizzy new heights, and most recently leading the sales division through one of the most historic, but best years in their history.

“Alongside her countless successes, she is recognised as an inspirational, credible, and empowering leader. Thank you for the last twenty years Mary, and here's to the next.”
