THE housebuilder Springfield Properties has appointed two new managing directors. Buckie man Dave Main, who has worked for the company for almost 20 years, has been promoted to director for the North of Scotland while Peter Matthews has joined Springfield as managing director for central Scotland. The two new positions are hoped to enhance Springfield’s management structure and support the execution of its growth strategy. Mr Main joined Springfield in 1999 as a quantity surveyor and has been part of the growing of the company, while Mr Matthews adds experience in the housebuilding industry having worked for Taylor Wimpey before joining Keepmoat Homes as a regional managing director for Scotland. Mr Main said: “Having been with the company since its very early days, I’ve seen just how much it has grown over the years, from the introduction of affordable housing to the creation of Springfield Choices and the expansion to central Scotland. “The company has a tremendous ethos of employee development and excellence. Training is highly valued at Springfield and in a growing company there are always opportunities for progression if you deliver projects effectively. I am really excited to take on this role as we drive forward Springfield’s pipeline of private developments across the north of Scotland. Peter Matthews, managing director for central Scotland added:
“Springfield is a business with a clear vision that over the last two decades has demonstrated its ability to sustain growth. I’ve joined a skilled and able team that is focused on increasing sales by delivering what customers want. Springfield Villages, in particular, underpin long-term growth and enable us to design great places to live where a new community can thrive. I’m looking forward to playing my part in delivering this vision.
