BARRATT Redrow has appointed Andy Curran as its new MD for its West Scotland division.
He will oversee all divisional operations, from land acquisition and planning through to construction, sales, and customer care.
Andy joins the housebuilder from Springfield Properties Central, where he held the position of regional MD. Prior to this, he was regional operations director after being promoted from commercial director, a role he took up in 2011.
“Joining the country’s number one housebuilder is a huge opportunity for me,” Andy Curran stated. “Barratt Redrow has a great reputation in the industry, and I look forward to building on West Scotland’s strong performance and success. With a solid growth plan in place for the next few years, this is a really exciting time to join the team.”
Alison Condie, Barratt Redrow’s regional MD for Scotland, added, “Andy brings an abundance of experience to the role and will be instrumental to West Scotland’s growth and success in the coming months. His commitment to delivering high quality homes and first-class customer service, as well as driving team morale, aligns with our vision and business values and we have no doubt the region will thrive under his leadership.”
Having started his career as a trainee quantity surveyor with Taylor Woodrow Developments in 2003, Andy is passionate about providing young people with opportunities.
He added, “Housebuilding is a great industry to build your career in, and it can be extremely rewarding. Whether you’re interested in architecture, engineering, surveying, sales, finance or planning, there are lots of paths to follow. I was lucky enough to secure a work placement during my time at university, but there are various options out there from trainee and graduate schemes to apprenticeships, trade qualifications and construction-related degrees.”
While the industry continues to face challenges, Andy remains optimistic about the future.
“Looking ahead, I would expect the housing market to stabilise in 2025, with further reductions to interest and mortgage rates improving affordability. From 2026 onwards, stronger economic performance is predicted which I believe will lead to growth across the housebuilding sector.”
