Our Team

Experts who bring precision, clarity, and organisation to every project

In‑House Expertise From Start to Finish

Every Homeconcepts project is delivered by our own in‑house team. Our project and site managers work closely with our mechanical, electrical and fit‑out specialists, keeping quality, programme and communication aligned from the first site visit through to handover

  • Ashton Hawthorne

    Ashton founded Homeconcepts in 2003, after people began asking to use the team he had built for converting houses into flats, and has led and grown the business ever since.

  • Danny Schut

    Projects Manager

    Danny began his career on major historic building renovations before moving into residential build and fit-out project management, gaining experience across the UK, Spain and the USA. He brings that breadth of experience to every Homeconcepts project, from planning and programming through to handover.

  • Paulina Isack

    Office Manager

    Paulina moved to the UK from California in 2008 and completed her accountancy training soon after arriving.
