Miller Homes, one of the UK's leading housebuilders, has announced the appointments of John Hardy as the new land director, and Matthew Paul as the commercial director for its North West region. 

John brings over two decades of invaluable experience to the table. His journey in the housebuilding industry began as a land buyer, and over 14 years at Jones Homes UK he progressed through the ranks to the position of land director. John’s proficiency in identifying prime land opportunities and securing planning permission will be a pivotal asset for the region.

John commented: "I am thrilled to join the Miller Homes team, they have an outstanding reputation for delivering quality homes and five-star customer service, and I am excited to contribute my experience to further enhance the company's success.”

In addition Matthew Paul has been appointed as the new commercial director of the North West region, adding another layer of expertise to the leadership team.

Matthew’s impressive journey in the industry saw him spend over two decades at Barratt Homes, where he began as a trainee quantity surveyor and progressively worked his way up to become the commercial director. His insights into cost management, project economics, and strategic planning will play a crucial role in enhancing Miller Homes' commercial endeavours.

"I am honoured to join Miller Homes as the commercial director," Matthew stated. "I look forward to leading the team and contributing to the company's ongoing and future projects." 

David Brackley, regional operations director at Miller Homes North West, added: “John and Matthew bring to the team a wealth of experience from a portfolio of respected homebuilders, they will further strengthen the Miller Homes North West Board as we celebrate an extremely positive first half to the year. We’re excited to see further successes under their direction.”
