Mr Sutcliffe, formerly an executive director of Segro and Taylo Wimpery, was appointed chief executive of Keepmoat last month and CEO-elect of the new organisation, which will be known as ‘the Keepmoat family of companies’.

The new board of directors will include Dave Sheridan, currently chief executive of Apollo, who will become chief operating officer for the northern half of the country.

John Thirlwall, currently Keepmoat finance director, will become group commercial director, responsible for commercial processes, major bid support, procurement, site services, HSEQ and property.

Peter Hindley, currently Keepmoat director of homes, will become group business development director, responsible for strategy, partnerships, sales, marketing and PR, business development and innovation.

All of these roles become effective upon the legal completion of the merger, expected in the next week or so. 

There are two further appointments to be made to the board: chief operating officer south and chief financial officer, which will be confirmed in due course.  Nick Ash, currently managing director of national housing for Apollo and Steve Allen, currently finance director of Apollo, will cover these roles on an interim basis.
