EDAROTH, the social and affordable housing developer owned by AtkinsRéalis, has appointed Toby Bonner as programme director.
Bonner, who has nearly 25 years’ experience in housing development, project management and large‑scale programme delivery, joins EDAROTH (Everybody Deserves A Roof Over Their Head) from L&Q, where he served as director of development and project management.
Earlier in his career, he spent more than a decade at Madlins and held senior development and asset management roles across the housing sector.
Bonner (pictured) said: “I’m excited by the opportunity to help shape EDAROTH into a delivery partner of choice for the sector. “With the broad expertise of AtkinsRéalis behind us, we have the capability to offer something genuinely additive to the market which means homes delivered quickly, reliably and with a clear focus on long‑term performance. My priority is to accelerate the pipeline to help drive substantial, tangible growth and I believe modern methods of construction and industrialised delivery models must play a pivotal role in that, if the UK is to address long‑standing supply gaps.”
Mark Powell, managing director of EDAROTH, added: “Toby brings vast sector knowledge, strategic leadership and a passion for innovation to EDAROTH at a crucial time for the business. His appointment reinforces our commitment to scaling-up EDAROTH and delivering high quality, energy efficient homes at pace.”
