Linden Homes appoints construction director
Award-winning housebuilder Linden Homes Thames Valley has appointed construction manager Philip Brady to its board.
Philip (53) brings more than 25 years’ industry experience to his new board level position and he sees the pursuit of quality as his main focus.
“It’s about quality and getting into position as a Home Builders Federation five-star builder,” he said. “I’ve brought in and promoted two new contract managers to help support and motivate the team to continue our progress and reach that goal.
“We face challenges shared by the whole industry at the moment such as shortages of skilled labour and materials. But by improving our processes and keeping focussed on quality we can be recognised as the best and continue to make happy customers – that’s the ultimate achievement.
“To help mark our progress I also want our teams to be picking up National House Building Council Pride in the Job Awards. They recognise best practice and will show we’re doing the right stuff on the ground.”
Philip’s role covers construction site operations, including budgets, programmes and standards. He will report into the managing director of Linden Homes Thames Valley, Peter Carpinelli.
Peter said: “Philip fully deserves this promotion for his experience, dedication and deep knowledge of housebuilding and construction. He shares the company’s goals and will continue to build our growing reputation for quality and service.”
High profile collections Philip will be overseeing include Ridgeway Manor, in Ogbourne St George, near Marlborough.
Philip, who lives in Bradenstoke, started his career in the Bristol area as an assistant site manager and has worked his way up from regional to national housebuilders. He joined Linden Homes in 2013 as construction manager.
