Avant Homes West Yorkshire has appointed a construction director to support the housebuilder's ongoing delivery of its multi-tenure strategy.
Andy Smith, who joins from residential developer Gleeson Homes, has more than 35 years' experience in the construction and housebuilding industry.
In his new role, Andy is responsible for Avant Homes West Yorkshire’s delivery of its new homes build programme. This comprises homes for the private market, affordable housing partners and private rented sector (PRS) providers.
Andy is leading the office-based and onsite construction teams and contributes to the strategic direction of the regional business at board level.
Commenting on his appointment, Andy said: "Our multi-tenure strategy is complementary to the government’s policy on housebuilding and is allowing us to deliver our vision of providing quality new homes, for everyone.
"I have joined a region that is clear about its purpose and look forward to leading a construction team full of talent and ambition.
"By providing homes for private sale and to our affordable housing providers, we are ensuring more of our practically designed, energy efficient new homes are available to those that need them."
Avant Homes West Yorkshire currently has nine live developments ranging from Odette's Point in Keighley to Sorby Park in Waverley. The housebuilder's new homes typically have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of B or above, which is considered excellent for energy efficiency.
