Keepmoat names new regional managing director

UK housebuilder Keepmoat has appointed Warren Thompson as regional managing director for its Yorkshire West division.

With over 30 years’ experience, Warren will lead growth and regeneration efforts across West Yorkshire, focusing on brownfield land and affordable housing delivery. 

He brings senior leadership experience from Miller Homes and Redrow to the role.

Warren said: “I’m delighted to have been appointed by such a well-established, national homebuilder as it embarks on an exciting regional growth journey. 

“I’m also looking forward to supporting a fantastic team to grow a pipeline of land opportunities and in the long-term it is my vision to increase our delivery to more than 750 homes per year.

“This move is particularly meaningful for me. 

“I previously worked with Keepmoat as part of my role at Bramall Construction, a former arm of the housebuilder that focussed on regeneration. 

“Returning now feels like an opportunity to complete some unfinished business with the group and support the region’s growth.

“I’ve been incredibly impressed by the experienced and motivated team already in place here and by the quality of the regional office and facilities which plays an important role as we look to recruit and grow our team across the region.”

The Yorkshire West team is currently active on ten sites, with recent projects in Bradford transforming 70 acres of disused land into more than 600 energy-efficient homes.

Andy Mason, divisional chair at Keepmoat, added: “I’m proud to welcome Warren to the team - his experience and passion for the industry, alongside his drive for growth, will be invaluable as we continue to develop and expand the Yorkshire West team, land pipeline and delivery goals. 

“With Warren’s leadership, we look forward to building on our strong track record of regenerating brownfield land and creating affordable homes that meet the needs of local communities.”
