Customer service is key ingredient for Ben
November 2025
A passion for property has always been an important driver for Ben O’Brien, who has recently been appointed to the New Homes Department at Greenslade Taylor Hunt.
Ben has enjoyed an extensive career in the property business, most recently as a branch manager of a leading Somerset estate agency, and knows the county well.
He particularly enjoyed working with developers as part of this role and is delighted that his new appointment with GTH will concentrate on this area.
Ben is committed to delivering a high level of customer service and relishes the challenge of a job well done for client and prospective purchasers alike.
His role as New Homes Area Account Manager will see Ben looking after GTH’s housebuilder clients across Somerset and Dorset, striving to achieve strong sales rates, and offer continued advice throughout the sales process of New Homes Developments across the region.
Welcoming his appointment Owen Setter, Head of New Homes, said: “I am delighted that Ben has joined our successful New Homes Team. His appointment is a key step in the department’s growth, increasing our ability to offer the highest standards of new homes sales advice and customer service across the width and breadth of GTH’s area of operation.”
Growing up in Sweden Ben took an interest in architecture and enjoyed drawing property from an early age.
Initially he moved to the UK more than a decade ago and began working for his uncle’s recruitment agency where he met his wife.
However, his interest in property remained and he was delighted to embark on a role in estate agency where he quickly progressed through the ranks and became a branch manager within three years.
Away from work Ben enjoys exploring the Somerset countryside with his wife, Claudia, and young son, Aben, and their two dogs, Winston and Luna. He also helps out on his wife’s family farm.
