Haven Homes scales up operation, appoints new GM

Haven Homes, the nation’s promoter and sublime developer of lifestyle living, has scaled up its operations with the appointment of a new general manager, Ufuoma Ilesanmi.

Ilesanmi, until her new appointment, was an assistant general manager in the company and, according to a statement signed by Tayo Sonuga, the firm’s MD/CEO, the appointment took effect from the 1st of this month.

Ilesanmi, who holds a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree in Human Resources and Industrial Relations from the Covenant University, Otta, also holds a Master of Science in Strategic Marketing from Stalford Manchester University, United Kingdom.

She joined the services of Haven Global Resources Limited in 2011 as Corporate Manager, rose to the position of Assistant General Manager in 2014 before her new position. She had earlier had engagements as Assistant Human Resources Manager with Frontier Oil & Gas Limited in 2010 and later as marketer in the Nigerian office of The First Group, a British realty outfit based in Dubai.

According to Sonuga, Ilesanmi is an intelligent, passionate and well-organized manager whose high performance partly accounts for Haven Homes’ top-of-the-ladder position in the real estate market.

“Ilesanmi’s promotion to the position of General Manager is absolutely deserved. She has been very good on her job and assignments given to her. She has our highest commendation and we congratulate her on the new position and wish her well in the future with the company”, Sonuga said, and enjoined clients of the company to have full confidence in relating with her on all matters that have to do with the company.

Ilesanmi recalled that the turning point in her life came during her days at Covenant University where she was exposed to the motivational teachings of the founder, Bishop David Oyedepo, who continually told them to always let the very best in them come out in all their assignments along the path of life.

“Before then, I was just an average student. But I resolved from that time forth that only the very best is good enough to give since whatever is worth doing is worth doing well”, she enthused.

Although not the owner of the business, Ilesanmi has put herself in that position with all the commitment the job requires. Her foray into Real Estate came as a pleasant surprise because she had always thought of owning a restaurant because of her amazing culinary skills.

Part of her plans for the immediate future is to see Haven Homes expand its business influence and frontiers to other parts of the country and abroad. She is thankful to God for her life; grateful to Haven Homes MD/CEO for the opportunity given to her to serve; grateful also to her colleagues for their support, and to all those who wish Haven Homes well.

Haven Homes has been churning out head-turning homes in the last 10 years. Its main activities are now in its flagship project, Richmond Gate Estate in Lekki that continues to expand.
