Anwyl Homes Appoints New Chief Operating Officer
Anwyl Homes has appointed Phil Dolan to the new role of chief operating officer to support the company's growth plans.
Phil, who was previously managing director of the company's Cheshire and North Wales region, has worked in the housebuilding industry for 27 years from the age of 18. Phil initially worked in a sales role before moving into land at 21 and starting to climb the career ladder.
He said: "I’m really excited about the new role and relishing the challenges it brings. We have always had the ambition of building 1,000 homes a year and after the challenges of the Covid pandemic and the impact of the 2022 ‘mini-budget’ on the economy and interest rates, all of which slowed the sector’s growth, we’re seeing signs of recovery in the housing market and greater certainty. There’s a general expectation that there will be a cut in interest rates soon and a possible change in government at the general election, which could put more emphasis on housing. We look forward to the industry getting back on track and growing the business."
Mr Dolan's previous employers include Persimmon Homes, the PJ Livesey Group, Barratt Homes Manchester and Gladman Developments. He joined Anwyl Land as managing director in 2016 and in 2018 was promoted to managing director of the Cheshire and North Wales region of the Anwyl Homes business, based in Ewloe, Flintshire.
Phil added: "At Anwyl, we have a sustainable organic growth plan and I’m excited for what the future holds for the business. We have superb management teams, who are just as motivated as I am, and we all look forward to pressing ahead with our plans."
The role of chief operating officer was created following a review of the strategic direction and future growth needs of the Anwyl business.
Housing manager director Mathew Anwyl said: "This new role is intended to secure our long-term future and make the most of the opportunities for progress. Phil’s appointment will provide direction and leadership for our strategy. He will lead the growth of both the Cheshire and North Wales and Lancashire Homes regions, strengthening our operational efficiencies, building sustainable growth, and promoting the Anwyl Homes brand."
Anwyl is recruiting a managing director to succeed Phil in leading the Cheshire and North Wales region of the business.
