en.Wedoany.com Reported - Allen Gibb has been appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of the newly established Holker Homes, a company under the diversified Holker Group, which also includes Cartmel Racecourse, Holker Hall, and Burlington Stone. Gibb, previously the Group CEO, is shifting his focus from the group's broader operations to residential construction, signaling the group's confidence in the housing sector's potential.

Gibb stated that he is delighted to take on this role at a time when the demand for high-quality new homes in South Cumbria has never been more evident. Investment in BAE Systems' Barrow shipyard is expected to create up to 7,500 jobs over the next 15 years, far exceeding existing local planning projections, and this growth will require a significant increase in housing supply. Gibb noted that he will collaborate with Team Barrow and local stakeholders to deliver high-quality housing, covering a range of tenures and property types to reflect the full spectrum of jobs created in the workforce.

Lucy Cavendish, head of the Holker Group, described the establishment of Holker Homes as the largest single investment initiative in the group's 250-year history. She stated that Gibb's experience, ambition, and deep understanding of the region make him the best person to advance this endeavor.

The Holker Homes brand is not entirely new. The Holker Group has been building homes under this brand for several years and is currently working on projects in Grange-over-Sands and Kirkby-in-Furness with delivery partner Lancet Homes. The group is also holding consultations for a 370-home project on a 45-acre greenfield site near Rakesmoor Lane in Barrow.
