New marketing chief for high profile lettings agency

Chestertons, one of London’s largest lettings and sale s agencies, has appointed Giles Milner as its first chief marketing officer.

Having worked as the company’s marketing director for over 10 years, Milner takes the more strategic role in order to support the agency’s growth plans.

After a spell as a sales agent at Foxtons, Milner worked in marketing communications before joining Chesterton Humberts in 2011 as PR and marketing manager.

In 2012 he took over the agency’s marketing department and became marketing director in 2014, the same year it re-branded to Chestertons.

Milner played a significant part in the company’s growth over recent years and, as well as rolling out the Chestertons brand after it de-merged from Humberts in 2014, led key marketing initiatives including Chestertons Polo in the Park, which has just celebrated its 12th year.

He is also a Founding Trustee of the Chestertons Foundation, helping drive the agency’s charitable activities.

John Ennis, CEO of Chestertons, says: “Giles’ motivation and passion is continuously felt throughout Chestertons, and his hard work and creativity has allowed the business and brand to become what it is today. After joining the company last year, I quickly recognised the vital contribution he makes to the business and his elevation to CMO is recognition of that.”
