Retirement community developer and manager McCarthy Stone has appointed Shane Paull as its new chief operating officer.
Paull has been a part of McCarthy Stone for 23 years. He joined in 2000, became land director in its Southern division in 2006 and then divisional managing director for Southern in 2012, a position he has held for the past 11 years.
In his role as chief operating officer, Paull will be responsible for McCarthy Stone’s strategic development functions, including land, planning, build, construction and health and safety, as well as group sales and marketing.
He will report to the group’s chief executive, John Tonkiss, and will continue as a member of McCarthy Stone’s executive committee, supporting the company’s four divisional managing directors.
Tonkiss said: “Shane is hugely respected across the organisation and the sector, and his experience of developing high-quality retirement communities is second to none. He will play a key role in driving growth in the business to move us back to building and completing 2,000 units a year.”
Paull added: “I will use my experience at McCarthy Stone to continue to develop our product and its quality so it can support many more people in the future. My focus will be on helping us to innovate, drive consistency, control build costs and develop our brand and proposition.”
