We are delighted to announce the appointment of Steve Chesney as Managing Director of the UK business from September 2024.
He takes over the role from Calum Forsyth who will remain involved with the business, taking up the role of non-executive chairman.
Steve joins H+H with over twenty years’ experience in the engineering and construction sectors, most recently as Group Managing Director for an international manufacturer of industrial and commercial fans.
“I am hugely excited about the future of the H+H business in the UK and, indeed, for the construction sector as a whole. In taking over the role I am absolutely committed to upholding the values and principles that have made the company a leader in its field and will build on the work done over many years to foster a culture of excellence, innovation and collaboration.
“I must also extend my sincere appreciation to Calum for his leadership and dedication to H+H. There is a very strong foundation on which to build.”
On handing over the MD role after eight years, Calum Forsyth welcomed the additional energy that Steve will bring to the organisation. “The last few years have brought unprecedented challenges. I am proud of the resilience and adaptability of H+H UK and of how it has maintained its position right at the heart of UK housebuilding. The company is poised and ready for the opportunities that a new government, focused on the need to deliver more housing, can bring. I am absolutely confident that Steve’s experience and enthusiasm for the sector will enable H+H to capitalise immediately on those opportunities.”
