Housing Growth Partnership (HGP) has appointed Gordon More, former chief investment officer and interim CEO of Homes England, as a senior strategy adviser.
More, who has more than 30 years’ experience in the banking and real estate finance sectors, joins a 20-strong panel of industry experts who advise the equity investor, which is backed by Lloyds Bank and Homes England.
He joined Homes England in 2014 on secondment as chief investment officer – a role that became permanent in 2017 – and was appointed interim CEO in 2021 to oversee the recruitment of a permanent appointment.
Vic Hepburn, CEO of HGP, said: “Gordon’s previous roles and continued executive support to businesses in the sector means he is ideally placed to work with HGP as we look to increase our equity investment into the living sectors whilst delivering great outcomes for local communities. He understands both the market need and the challenges that stand in the way.”
More added: “Enabling SME housebuilders to expand and accelerate their pipeline underpins the HGP model and is vital if we are to create a more robust and resilient housing market. The current environment for delivering new homes remains highly challenging, whether it’s regulatory, planning, financing, labour or raw material pressures, which is where HGP’s unique senior adviser panel can make a real difference.”
