Avant Homes West Midlands has announced three new promotions to support the ongoing delivery of the housebuilder’s multi-tenure expansion strategy throughout the region.

Nigel Rimmer has been promoted to construction director, Alex Evenden to head of commercial and Ian Laing to senior site manager.

With 40 years’ housebuilding industry experience, Nigel Rimmer joined Avant Homes West Midlands two years ago as construction manager. Since arriving at the business, he has successfully overseen the implementation of the housebuilder’s new homes build programme throughout the region.

Alex Evenden, who was appointed by the company a year-and-a-half ago, previously held the position of commercial manager.

In his new role as head of commercial, Alex has overall responsibility for the financial planning and budgeting of developments whilst enabling the high performance of staff, suppliers and contractors.

As senior site manager, Ian Laing coordinates construction activity, including managing subcontractors and site teams, whilst also ensuring homes are built safely and to the latest standards. He joined Avant Homes West Midlands four years ago as a site manager.

The Coleshill-based housebuilder currently has live developments ranging from Chestnut Acres in Burbage, near Hinckley, to Priory Orchard in Priorslee, Telford, along with a healthy pipeline of new sites.

Congratulating the trio on their promotions, Avant Homes West Midlands managing director, Luke Scarborough, said.

“As a business, we are committed to recognising and developing our people to enable their career progression. Nigel, Alex and Ian’s promotions are thoroughly deserved and further great examples of this approach in action.

“All three have made significant contributions to the successful delivery of our strategy which sees us provide a wide variety of quality, energy-efficient new homes through a range of tenures offering affordability in popular locations.

“In their new roles, Nigel, Alex and Ian are having an even greater positive impact on our business. Their capability, energy and enthusiasm will be instrumental in the ongoing expansion of our multi-tenure strategy throughout the West Midlands.”
