Genesis Homes has recruited Brett Lilley from Story Homes to the newly created role of commercial director.
Lilley, who has more than 20 years’ industry experience, was associate commercial director for the North West at Story Homes.
He started his career as a trainee quantity surveyor at Fairclough Homes and went on to work for Chelford Homes, Countryside Properties and Rowland Homes, before joining Story.
In his new role, he will oversee all commercial operations at Genesis and will use his expertise to develop the skill-set of the company’s commercial team.
Lilley said: “I’m very excited to be joining Genesis Homes, which is a homebuilder really going places and making its mark in construction across the North West. There are certain geographical challenges that working in rural Cumbria brings but Genesis has already proved that there is a great amount of talent on the doorstep, which the company has developed through a programme of support and investment.
“Through my role as commercial director, I want to build on the great work already ongoing at Genesis Homes to make sure our staff are the best they can be, and putting into place more specialist coaching and mentoring programmes will help us achieve this and bring on the next generation of commercial staff.
“I am joining Genesis Homes at a really exciting period of its ambitious growth journey, and by appointing myself and construction director David Graziano, the business is investing in experience and expertise to reach these targets.”
