Miller Homes, one of the UK’s largest homebuilders, is announcing a restructure within its North West team.

After five years at the helm, Ian Smith has recently retired from his position as managing director of the region and will be succeeded by a restructured senior team. 

Following Smith’s retirement to spend time with his family and to travel, David Brackley, who has also been with the business for five years, has been promoted to regional operations director from technical director.

Sales director for the North West, Clare Noakes is taking on wider responsibilities to support Brackley and the management team in addition to her core role. In order to ensure the sales team maintain their successful track record, Leanne Feeley has been promoted to head of sales and will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the sales teams, whilst still working under Noakes’ leadership.

Nikki Burns has been with the homebuilder for two years and has been promoted to technical director taking on Brackley’s previous role. 

Stewart Lynes, chief executive officer at Miller Homes said: “I’d like to thank Ian for the energy, effort and enthusiasm he has instilled across the region during his tenure. I’m also delighted to see David, Clare, Leanne and Nikki step into their new roles and take our North West office into its next chapter of growth.” 

The restructure comes as Miller Homes goes from strength to strength in the region, adding developments in Ashton-in-Makerfield and Oldham to its portfolio most recently. The builder also recently celebrated surpassing 100 reservations for the year at its flagship development in Stretford, Novus, alongside selling out at Blackfield Green, a 160-home Lancashire development in Warton, after just three years.

Further to these successes, the homebuilder has recently launched its exciting flagship development, Varsity Quarter in Northenden, transforming the old Manchester College site into new homes. The sales centre at the site is expected to launch in October 2022 with show homes to follow.
