Having been a senior land manager with Harron for two years, stepping into the role of land director was a natural progression for Andy.
Andy, 42, said, “I’ve already seen Harron Homes make a huge difference to the areas and locations with its existing developments. Heading up the team that will acquire new sites and continue Harron’s growth is an exciting journey to embark on. Building the right team is half the job and we already have a great set of people at Harron. I’m looking forward to seeing Harron continue to expand across the midlands bringing high quality homes to the local communities and with the market starting to pick up again we are encouraged about what the future holds.”

With a history of working in construction since leaving school, Pete is eager to get stuck in with the team.
Pete, 58, said, “I’ve been in housebuilding for about 37 years starting off as a trainee in estimating where I was pricing up house types and drawing up budgets. Through hard work and recognition, I’ve progressed in my career and hope to take Harron on a similar journey. I’ve been with Harron for three years now as commercial manager so taking this step up and looking after the sites to ensure they flourish is a fantastic role to take on, especially being part of such a wonderful team. I enjoy motivating people to achieve their goals and look forward to building the team up.”
