New site manager for Keld development

Richard Holt has been appointed as site manager for eco-homebuilder Northstone's Keld development in Barrowford.

Steven Appleton assumes the position of assistant manager.

Richard, who has been with the company for three years, is highly-regarded and last year completed the homebuilder’s Next Generation training programme which looks to accelerate the progression of key individuals within the firm through a one-year course, combining learning modules and monthly sessions with external experts.

Richard joins Keld having recently completed works at Northstone’s Silkash development in Bolton where he was also site manager. Steven meanwhile has been working with the company for almost a year, officially becoming part of the head count in June this year.

Richard said: “It’s fantastic to be on site at Keld working with our trusted contractors to see the development really start to take shape and building on the community of customers that have already moved into their homes." 

Once complete, Keld will feature 239 homes across 10 different house types, with all homes boasting a number of eco-leading features as standard such as Velfac windows and an intelligent heating system. Northstone has completed 80 homes and is now on phase 2.
