Linden Homes has appointed Andrew Richards as group managing director for house building.
Richards was previously managing director for the investment division at Linden Homes’ parent company, Galliford Try.
Richards will oversee the house builder’s entire business operations across the UK in his new role, which takes effect from 1 July.
Galliford Try chief executive Greg Fitzgerald, said: “His financial discipline and commercial acumen will undoubtedly bring a fresh approach to the company and leadership team. Having worked for the Galliford Try Group for over seven years, Andrew has solid understanding of the company, which will set him in good stead for taking the business forward.”
Richards added: “With my financial background and focus on strategic analysis, I am confident that I will bring a new dimension to the already strong management team. I intend to continue to drive our focus towards margin improvement and positively challenge the existing policies in place.”
