I am looking forward to ensuring this business is a finely tuned machine and is recognised for both quality and service and for being a great place to work.”
He added: “I believe that people are a business’ greatest strength, and I will be spending time on their empowerment and development, nurturing mindset, culture and bringing the best out of each and every one of them. We have so much potential in our ranks in terms of passion, capability, knowledge and flair that inevitably produces the sought after homes they create.
