Managing Director: Lee Murphy
Lee Murphy has over 30 years of experience in residential, mixed-use and strategic land development across London and the South East. His career began in construction estimating, a discipline that instilled a rigorous attention to detail and a commercial grounding in numbers that underpins every project he leads today.
After senior roles at Croudace, Rydon and the Milford Group, Lee co-founded Parkridge Securities Ltd in 2005, serving as Development Director and delivering regeneration-led schemes across the South of England and the Midlands. In 2008 he established Whitgift Estates Ltd, which he continues to lead as Managing Director.
Lee’s approach is collaborative and creative. He works closely with landowners and partners to unlock the best value from each site while maintaining an unwavering focus on the quality of the finished product. He relishes complex challenges, including consents in sensitive locations such as the Green Belt and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and brings the commercial discipline and practical experience to see them through.
His work has been recognised at national level. Whitgift Estates developments have received the What House? Award for Best Apartment Scheme and the Evening Standard Best Boutique Development Award, both for Forest Gate House in Tunbridge Wells, delivered through Reigate Land Ltd.
Westerham Park, a scheme of seven substantial detached homes in the Kent countryside, is Whitgift Estates’ current flagship development.
