Regional housebuilder Beal Homes has appointed a new Construction Director.
Andy Devine has joined the family-owned business from Barratt & David Wilson Homes, where he was Contracts Manager for the Yorkshire East area.
He succeeds long-serving John Goodfellow, who has retired. During an 18-year tenure as Construction Director, Mr Goodfellow played in a key role in Beal becoming established as the leading independent housebuilder operating in Hull, East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
Mr Devine, who is 44, brings 26 years of experience in the construction industry to Beal, having previously held a series of Yorkshire-based senior positions with national housebuilders.
For the past six years Mr Devine has been Contracts Manager for Barratt & David Wilson Homes – Yorkshire East. Prior to this, he was Production Manager for Linden Homes North and a Site Manager for Linden Homes and Barratt & David Wilson Homes.
Mr Devine has twice been a winner of NHBC Pride in the Job awards and his teams have been multiple winners of regional and Northern site manager prizes.
Richard Beal, Chief Executive of the East Yorkshire-based housebuilder, said: “We’re delighted to appoint Andy to this key role. He has an excellent track record of leading construction teams and delivering major developments while maintaining a strong focus on build quality.
“He is committed to putting the customer at the heart of the construction process and that’s a very good fit with our culture and growth strategy.
Mr Devine said: “This is a great move for me. I was attracted by the opportunity to move from a national Plc to join a growing, independent housebuilder that has such a strong commitment to building homes based on the wants and needs of buyers.”
