Gleeson Homes Welcomes Former Barratt and Redrow Executive as New Group Construction Director
Gleeson Homes has strengthened its leadership team by appointing Wayne Morris, a seasoned professional from Barratt and Redrow, as its new Group Construction Director.
Wayne Morris joined Gleeson Homes this month after dedicating nearly two decades to Barratt and subsequently Redrow, where he held the position of Construction Director for over eight years. His extensive experience includes overseeing Redrow’s construction operations across Yorkshire and Lancashire.
The previous year marked a significant milestone in the industry when Barratt and Redrow merged in a £2.5 billion deal to form Barratt Redrow. In his new role at Gleeson Homes, Morris will assume a national remit, focusing particularly on the company’s key regions in the north and Midlands.
In related news, Keepmoat has announced the recruitment of Mark Dilley as its new Chief Financial Officer. Dilley brings valuable expertise from his previous role at Tilia Homes, the private equity-backed firm that acquired Kier’s housing business nearly four years ago. His appointment is expected to bolster Keepmoat’s financial leadership and support its ongoing growth initiatives.
These strategic hires highlight the dynamic shifts within the housebuilding sector, as companies like Gleeson Homes and Keepmoat seek experienced leaders to drive their expansion and operational excellence.
