KEEPMOAT has announced the appointment of Jamie Doran as senior land and partnerships manager to head up the Scottish arm of the business.
In the role, Jamie will focus on leading the new land team, as well as on land acquisition and managing the existing land portfolio – which includes delivering 85 new homes at a site in Kilwinning.
Jamie most recently worked as residential development director at Savills. He brings more than 20 years of industry experience to the role with extensive knowledge of growing and scaling business operations, securing land and building partnerships.
Commenting on his appointment, Jamie said, “I am thrilled to have been appointed by such a well-established, national homebuilder. I am joining the business at an exciting time to help develop the Scottish division’s land acquisition strategy and grow the Scottish arm of Keepmoat.
“I am committed to Keepmoat’s vision of building communities and transforming lives through our sustainability initiatives. I am also dedicated to achieving the company’s goal of expanding its presence in Scotland and continuing to invest in land to meet the needs of Scottish people.
“The team are already working on delivering a multi million pound investment to regenerate a former farm in Kilwinning, a fantastic example of how I want to lead the team to continue to deliver on regeneration projects.”
As part of its portfolio in Scotland, Keepmoat has multiple live developments including The Castings, Westwood Park, and NorthBridge – the latter being the largest regeneration project of its kind outside London, aiming to reconnect the city of Glasgow and redefine modern urban living. The housebuilder will commence phase two at NorthBridge in 2025.
Regional MD, Tim Metcalfe at Keepmoat, added, “I’m delighted that Jamie has joined the team and I am eager to see him further strengthen our land pipeline and support the growth of our area. Our team in Scotland is currently operating across five sites and has completed hundreds of new homes in the last year.
“We specialise in developing brownfield land and are dedicated to building a pipeline of future homes in Scotland with net zero carbon emissions. I am thrilled to see Jamie drive our objective to revitalise areas through our partnership model and cultivate relationships with landowners to build thriving, sustainable communities.”
