Modular home provider ilke Homes has hired Matthew Bench as group executive of growth and partnerships.
He will head up development and growth, and will be responsible for establishing new partnerships.
In May, ilke Homes signed a £100m deal to deliver 750 homes for Places for People, in the largest modular housing deal the UK has seen.
Bench was previously group partnership director at Crest Nicholson for six years, leading investment, affordable home delivery and PRS across the regional businesses.
Bench said: “Modular housing’s versatility presents us with an opportunity to accelerate alternative tenure types in affordable housing and the private rental sector, and I hope to use my experience across the housebuilding sector to establish new market offerings and continue to drive this company forward.”
