On the move: the latest East Midlands hires
Chesterfield-based Avant Homes Central has appointed a construction director.
Matt Rodgers has been promoted from head of construction having initially joined Avant Homes Central as area construction manager in October 2022. He has more than 27 years’ experience within the housebuilding industry.
In his new role, Rodgers has overall responsibility for the delivery of Avant Homes’ new build programme of activity within the region. This comprises homes for private development and for partnerships with registered social landlords and private rented sector (PRS) providers.
He will continue to lead the Avant Homes Central office-based and onsite construction teams and contribute to the strategic direction of the regional business at board level.
Rodgers said: “We have a clear expansion plan within our Central region which will be delivered by our multi-tenure strategy. I am fortunate to lead a construction team full of committed professionals who are all aligned in achieving the same customer orientated objectives.
“Avant Homes’ vision is to build quality homes, for everyone and, as a team, we are focused on making that vision a reality. This is in line with government policy as it will ensure more of our practically designed, energy efficient new homes are available to the people that need them most.”
Persimmon Homes Midlands has promoted eleven staff members.
The eleven members of the team have all recently stepped up into new roles, being promoted to a range of roles – from assistant accountant to senior sales manager, to sales office manager – among others.
Zac Hurst, managing director at Persimmon Homes Midlands, said: “We’re delighted to have strengthened all of our teams with the promotions of eleven of our staff. Their skills and experience are a real asset to the Midlands team and the business more generally.
“Providing homes and infrastructure of outstanding quality is integral to what we do at Persimmon, and recognising the success of our team helps to ensure that we continue to deliver the highest standards for customers, communities and stakeholders.”
