On his promotion, Allen said: “I am excited to be a part of the Gleeson journey. The growth within the Midlands’ region has tripled within my time at the company and this is just the beginning! We have not only secured a great land pipeline that will enable continued growth, but we have also built an extremely talented team that is 100% committed to the core values of the company, enabling us to further bolster the delivery of affordable, quality homes.”
Allen has worked within the construction industry for over 33 years and within this time, he has received seven Pride in the Job awards and was also made Construction Manager of the Year (Gold Medal Winner).
The region has expanded significantly in the last 24 months, with the demand for affordable homes remaining strong with ten new developments in the pipeline.
Over the last 12 months, ten valued members of staff have also received well deserved promotions, showing growth within the company and the Midlands region.
