Cormac Henderson

Founder/CEO

Cormac began his career working for a global FMCG firm in London and Melbourne. Realising the property sector was his true passion, he founded NPT in 2008 when the fast property sale sector was in its infancy. Now a recognised leader in the property sector, Cormac has given his voice to industry publications to discuss the problems inherent in the traditional housing market.

In addition to the day-to-day running of National Property Trade, Cormac has been heavily involved in ensuring the regulation of the Accelerated Sales industry. He was consulted extensively during the drafting of the industry code of conduct implemented by The Property Ombudsman in 2014. The same process led to the establishment of the industry representative body, the National Association of House Buyers, of which NPT became a founding member.

Cormac graduated from Trinity College, Dublin. Cormac enjoys outdoor sports and has represented Ireland as a national swimmer. He is a qualified scuba diving instructor and is also a keen traveller, having backpacked around the world twice! Cormac is married with a young son.
