Nick Moore has joined Wain Homes as managing director of our Severn Valley region as the business gears up to double in size over the next five years.
Nick joins the Bristol-based regional business having previously held MD positions with some of the UK’s largest housebuilders, including Barratt as divisional MD for West London and North Thames, Kier Living, ultimately as Group MD and Taylor Wimpey, where he was appointed managing director aged just 37.
Jim Wood, managing director of Wain Group, said: “Nick’s appointment is a case of the right person at the right time. He comes with vast experience of the whole residential sector and has a track record of leading operational improvements and securing prime sites whilst creating close-knit, motivated and highly professional teams where people can flourish.
“We have ambitious expansion plans for the Severn Valley region which will see the business effectively double in size by 2029 from its current output of around 300 homes per year towards a target of 600. It is imperative such expansion is controlled and skilfully navigated and Nick has all the attributes to lead us forward.”
Wain Homes Severn Valley builds new homes across Gloucestershire, Somerset, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and the West Midlands and a spate of recent planning approvals will soon see the regional business with 11 live sites and an exciting pipeline of future land prospects.
Nick said: “Wain Homes has an excellent reputation, not only with customers but also within the industry, where it is known for its ambition, dedication to quality and focus on both its own people and the communities it helps to create.
“As soon as I walked into the business I had a great feeling and I have inherited an exceptionally experienced, competent and capable team who all buy into the entrepreneurial spirit of the business where every individual adds value.”
Nick’s immediate focus will see the business consolidate its intentions on securing larger new sites in sustainable edge-of-town locations and support the roll out of new homes with market-leading specifications.
