Barratt Redrow reshuffles top team
Barratt Redrow, the Coalville-based housebuilding giant has revealed that Matthew Pratt will be stepping down from the board and his position as Redrow chief executive on 30 June. He will remain available to the company until 31 December.
The move follows the operational integration of Barratt and Redrow nearing completion.
With Pratt stepping down and, as previously announced, Steven Boyes retiring on 6 September, the executive directors on the board from that point will be David Thomas as chief executive officer and Mike Scott as chief financial Officer.
Thomas said: “Following a successful 22 year career at Redrow plc, including five years as CEO prior to the combination, Matthew has had a key role in the smooth and effective integration of Barratt and Redrow. I would like to thank him for his valuable contribution to the combined business.”
Pratt added: “It has been a privilege to work alongside such talented and committed colleagues, and I am deeply grateful for their role in shaping Redrow into one of the UK’s leading housebuilders. As we approach the final stages of operational integration, I am immensely proud to have contributed to the coming together of these two exceptional businesses. I wish Barratt Redrow every success as it embarks on this exciting new chapter.”
Meanwhile, Mike Roberts, currently regional managing director of Barratt Redrow’s northern region, has been appointed as chief operating officer-designate and member of the Barratt Redrow Executive Committee.
