Sean Durnan has been promoted to group health, safety and environmental director at Avant Homes, two-and-a-half years after joining the housebuilder.
Sean, who has 13 years’ experience in the housebuilding sector, joined Avant Homes as group health and safety manager and has since led the company’s approach to health, safety and environmental standards across its operations in Scotland, the North of England and the Midlands.
His promotion recognises his work overseeing policies, processes and procedures across the group’s regional businesses, as well as his role in supporting Avant Homes’ wider growth plans.
Commenting on his promotion, Sean said: “Avant Homes places health and safety at the forefront of its activities. The company provided me with the support and opportunity to progress my career, so I am very pleased for it to be recognised by this promotion.
“Our commitment to upholding health, safety and environmental standards is shared by all of us at Avant Homes, and I work closely with colleagues at group and in our regions to ensure its delivery.
“As part of our multi-tenure strategy, we are committed to delivering high-quality, energy-efficient homes in the locations where they are needed most, while maintaining the highest standards of health, safety and environmental responsibility for our stakeholders.
“This senior role will be instrumental in strengthening and sustaining strategic relationships with PRS and affordable housing providers.
“Health, safety and environmental issues are also at the top of their agendas, so our focus on it is completely complementary. In my new role as a director, I am looking forward to ensuring Avant Homes remains at the forefront of these vitally important elements of our business.”
Avant Homes operates across Scotland, the North of England and the Midlands and is continuing to expand its multi-tenure housing strategy across its regional businesses.
