Allison Homes has appointed Adam Knight as managing director for the region.
With over 22 years’ experience in the housing sector, Adam previously held technical director and managing director positions across the East Midlands, helping deliver over 10,000 homes in the last two decades.
Adam will be responsible for driving regional growth, overseeing new site delivery, and securing new development opportunities. A key focus will be on contributing to the company’s aim to double in size in the next three years.
Adam is keen to cultivate strong relationships with stakeholders, saying: “We will not achieve the growth we require without strong partnerships with suppliers and the local communities where we are building houses.
“I always believe as developers we are building more than just housing estates – we help to shape lives with the houses and infrastructure we build that allow communities to grow and families to thrive.”
Adam added: “The customer is at the forefront of every decision that is made within the region,” stating this can be achieved with even more internal collaboration.
“Each department within the region is a customer to each other, and helping to increase collaboration between departments will greatly assist in a happy customer at the end of the journey.”
To increase annual housing delivery and the number of affordable homes, Adam said that a key strategy will be to “galvanise and strengthen our relationships with RPs and local authorities and form new partnerships with RPs and authorities in areas we are moving into.”
Adam feels that the culture at Allison Homes aligns perfectly with his management style. “From the moment I met John (Anderson, Group Chief Executive Officer) and the senior management team I could tell that their vision for the company aligns with my values,” he said.
Adam also plans to bring “strong, clear leadership and direction” to the East region, empowering his team, and ensuring they have the backing they need from him and the board.
John Anderson said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Adam to Allison Homes. His wealth of experience and proven leadership in the sector make him an invaluable asset to our team. Furthermore, his passion for collaboration, customer satisfaction, and sustainable growth fits perfectly with our company values.
“I am confident that Adam will play a crucial role in driving the success of our Eastern Region and contributing significantly to the overall growth of Allison Homes.”
