Early career

Naomi Heaton joined advertising agency Leo Burnett after graduating from Oxford University in 1977 with an MA(Hons) in Human Sciences. After moving to Saatchi & Saatchi in 1982 she became a board director in 1984. A further move to Young & Rubicam saw her appointed as main board director from 1985–1986.

Founding London Central Portfolio and the LCP group of companies

Naomi bought her first property—a garden flat in Camden Town—at age 26 and began buying, renovating and selling property on for profit as a hobby while she pursued her advertising career. Feeling that there were no real challenges left for her in advertising, and recognising a gap in the market for assisting investors like herself in the London real estate market, she established London Central Portfolio (LCP) in 1989 to provide a full asset management service including property finding, refurbishment and lettings. She is director and chief executive, as well as holding directorships on further LCP group companies established in 2013–2014 and a number of listed property funds.
