Forrest has recruited Neil Ashworth from Balfour Beatty to take on the newly-created role of head of new build housing, tasked with growing its development activity across the country.
Chief executive Lee McCarren said: 鈥淭here鈥檚 a significant shortfall of social housing stock across the UK and the new-build market remains a key part of our nationwide growth strategy under which we aim to deliver quality affordable housing for both new and existing clients.鈥�
Neil Ashworth previously held roles at Richardson Projects and Rok and was most recently commercial director for Mansell Construction Services鈥� social housing division within the Balfour Beatty Group.
Mr McCarren added: 鈥淣eil鈥檚 appointment comes at an exciting time for us, following the appointment of Ian McGillivary as commercial director, the imminent launch of our North East office and a range of new contract wins across our service lines since the start of our 60th year in business.
