Local independent housebuilder, Shropshire Homes have continued to grow their workforce this year with a number of new appointments including the recruitment of a Commercial Director.
Tom Cox joins the property developer from Taylor Wimpey, where he began as a management trainee before progressing to the role of Commercial Manager in 2019. Tom brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience in leading the buying and surveying functions of a large organisation, in line with Shropshire Homes’ ongoing strategy for growth and development.
Across the organisation, the sales, finance and technical departments have also seen expansion following a busy twelve months where demand for housing in the region has soared. Additionally, Shropshire Homes have maintained their commitment to training apprentices within their construction teams, equipping young people with the foundations for a successful career in their chosen trade.
Managing Director, Richard Shackleton says, “We are really pleased to have continued our plans for development during the challenges of the past year, especially with the recruitment of a new director with such valuable insight and experience.
“The ethos of Shropshire Homes, from its beginnings over forty years ago, has been the belief that our people are our main asset and are proud to have a workforce who consistently meet our high standards. With our team going from strength to strength, we look forward to the next forty years building homes of quality and character in and around the county.”
