KEEPMOAT has promoted divisional chairman Ian Hoad to the role of CEO, succeeding Tim Beale who has stepped down following eight years with the business.
Ian initially joined the company in 1996, staying for five years. He then gained experience with other major housebuilders before rejoining Keepmoat in 2009, where he has fulfilled a number of roles including technical director and regional MD. He was promoted to divisional chairman in 2019 and will officially take up his new role as CEO at the start of July.
Tim Beale said, “After careful consideration, I have taken the decision that the time is right for me to step down as CEO. I am delighted that the board has appointed Ian Hoad, divisional chairman for Scotland, the North East, and Yorkshire East to be my successor. I am confident that under his leadership the business will continue to go from strength to strength. I will remain with the business over the coming months to ensure a seamless transition.”
Ian Hoad added, “I am incredibly proud to be given this opportunity to lead the Keepmoat business and steer it through its exciting next stage of growth and development. Our differentiated partnership model has proven to be resilient with our focus on first time buyers and brownfield developments and is extremely well positioned to deliver on that significant future growth.
“I look forward to continuing to work with our public and private sector partners and Keepmoat’s highly capable management team, to deliver the high-quality multi-tenure homes and communities that the country so desperately needs. I would like to thank Tim and the board for their support and for entrusting me with the leadership of Keepmoat.”
