Mr Neil Fitzsimmons, Chief Executive of Redrow Homes one of the UK's largest house builders, has joined the board of the Home Builders Federation (HBF).
Mr Fitzsimmons joined Redrow in 1997 and was appointed to the board as group finance director a year later, becoming group managing director in September 2003. A chartered accountant by profession, he has worked in the construction and housebuilding sectors since 1986 and was appointed chief executive of Redrow on 1 August 2005.
Welcoming Mr Fitzsimmons to the board, HBF Executive Chairman Stewart Baseley said: "These are critical times for the home building industry and the HBF is at the forefront of negotiations with a wide range of stakeholders on issues that will affect the industry during the current downturn and beyond. To enable us to effectively represent our industry, especially in these turbulent times, we need experienced industry professionals with a proven track record. Neil clearly has those attributes, which when added to the skills of the existing board members will help make the HBF an even more effective voice for our industry."
