Miller Homes, one of the UK’s largest homebuilders, has appointed a new production director to cover its North West region. This role supports Miller Homes’ strategy to bring quality new homes to the region.

Rick Smith joins the Miller Homes team from Taylor Wimpey having had over 20 years of continuous service within the company. During his time at the builder, Smith rose through the ranks to become the production director of the Manchester division in 2014.

Since then, Smith has developed a strong track record of building and maintaining high-performing production teams across a large business operating from multiple sites with an annual output, which regularly exceeds 700 homes per annum. 

In doing so, Smith has been able to sustain high standards of build quality, recognised by a large number of NHBC Pride in the Job Awards awarded throughout his team, as well as maintaining high standards of customer service at a 5-star level.

Due to the growth in the region, with new developments opening in Oldham, Northenden and Ashton-in-Makerfield, the appointments coincide with three new recruits for Miller Homes this month. This expansion highlights the encouraging signals that the region will continue to flourish.

Miller Homes welcomes Annabel Collins and Louise Holmes as new development sales managers, alongside new addition to the engineering team, Matthew Birch.  

Ian Smith, managing director of Miller Homes in the North West, said, “I am delighted to appoint Rick as our new production director. With his many years of experience and expertise within the homebuilding industry, he will definitely make a great addition to the North West team and steer us in the right direction as we go from strength to strength!” 

Rick Smith adds: “Miller Homes provided a compelling opportunity for me to leave a company where I’ve worked for over two decades, I really applaud everything the brand stands for and am looking forward to creating new communities in the North West with my team.”
