Tom Grundy Appointed Anwyl's MD For Cheshire And North Wales
Tom Grundy has been appointed Anwyl's new Managing Director for Cheshire and North Wales.
It's Tom second stint with the homebuilder, following a short time as MD at Eurogold. Tom, from Appleton, Warrington, was previously commercial director for Anwyl Lancashire.
He said: "It's a privilege to take on this role and lead such a great group of people. My focus is building on our success across all areas of the business, from construction quality and commercial processes to sales and customer service levels, while ensuring a strong pipeline of new land acquisitions."
Tom has worked in construction since joining Barratt Homes as a trainee quantity surveyor in 2008.
"As part of the traineeship, I attended Bolton University one day a week to obtain a degree in quantity surveying," Tom said. "I then joined Redrow in 2013 as a senior quantity surveyor before being promoted to chief QS two years later."
When Anwyl Homes formed its Lancashire division seven years ago, Tom seized the opportunity to join the forward-thinking company as it expanded into new territory.
Tom added: "I joined Anwyl Homes in 2017 as a founding member of the Lancashire region. My role developed in line with the growth of the business and I was made group commercial director in 2021."
Keen to develop his career further, Tom joined Liverpool-based groundworks and civil engineering contractors Eurogold last year, before taking up an offer to return to Anwyl, as managing director, this time based in Ewloe, Flintshire, within the Cheshire and North Wales region.
