Red Homes Estate Agency Join the Albion Sponsor Community
Plymouth Albion is delighted to welcome Red Homes Estate Agency as one of our newest sponsors for the 2025/26 season.
Founded and led by Brian Sanderson, Red Homes may be relatively new to the Plymouth property scene — but Brian himself certainly isn’t. Having worked in the city since 2002 and lived here for more than 14 years, his roots in the local business community run deep.
Brian’s journey into sponsorship began in classic rugby club fashion — through conversation, connection, and a shared sense of community.
“I’m fairly new on the sponsorship scene at Plymouth Albion, but not new to Plymouth. My wife and I moved down about fourteen years ago, and I’d actually been doing business in the city since 2002 — initially as a lettings man, managing our own places and properties for other landlords. About six or seven months ago I made a clean pivot to the sales side only with Red Homes Estate Agency.”
Red Homes was built on a simple philosophy — fair, transparent fees and honest service. After years in development and lettings, Brian wanted to bring something different to the market.
“I wanted to do this the right way. I bought into a franchise run by a friend, got fully qualified, and set our stall out around fair, transparent fees. Most outfits will quote 1–2%, but we think there’s a better, fairer way — 0.75% + VAT, with no eyebrow-raising minimums or hidden extras. People first, clarity always.”

Brian’s decision to get involved with Albion was as instinctive as it was inspired.
“I rang James at Albion, popped down to Brickfields — under strict instructions from my wife not to agree to anything — and walked out having taken two boards: one pitch-facing and one crowd-facing by hospitality. I liked what I saw. It’s a proper club: welcoming people, right scale, real community spirit. The new training centre blew me away — serious investment, done properly. It made me think: get in early, grow with the club, and do more together over time.”
— Brian Sanderson
Since putting his boards up, Brian has already enjoyed a successful hospitality day at Brickfields — catching a memorable 62–5 win the day after his first board was installed.
“People first, community next, and ambition last. Albion is knitted into Plymouth in the same way we want Red Homes to be. The club is clearly moving forward; so are we. I’m 59, nowhere near ready to retire, and I’d much rather put my shoulder behind something that lifts with us: the club grows, the crowds grow, and hopefully Red Homes grows alongside.”
— Brian Sanderson
“It’s fantastic to welcome Brian and Red Homes Estate Agency to the Albion sponsor community. His enthusiasm, authenticity, and passion for both the club and the city really shine through. Partnerships like this are exactly what make Brickfields special — local people, local business, and shared ambition.”
— James Greenacre, Commercial Director, Plymouth Albion
As Red Homes continues to expand its profile across Plymouth, including new bus rear advertising and citywide lamppost panels, the connection with Albion marks the start of what promises to be a long and rewarding partnership.
