Keepmoat is a top 10 UK house builder that specialises in building high-quality, sustainable homes in desirable locations. The company operates across various regions of the UK, delivering homes that cater to a range of needs, from first-time buyers to families and downsizers. Their focus is on providing affordable and energy-efficient properties that meet modern living standards.
Keepmoat’s Partnership Business Model sets them apart from other homebuilders. It aligns with its partners’ objectives, consistently delivering successful, large-scale, mixed-tenure, developments with long-term improvements for the local community. Today, Keepmoat is proud to have long-term partnerships with over 200 partners including local authorities, landowners and registered providers.
Keepmoat operates nine regional businesses across the UK, organised into three divisions: Scotland, North East and Yorkshire East; North West, Yorkshire West and MCI (a contracting housebuilder); and South Midlands, East Midlands and West Midlands. Each of the regional businesses has its own management board and is empowered to deliver its overarching operational excellence strategy, applying the Group’s policies and systems to local markets and circumstances. This agile structure and approach mean we are well-positioned for future growth.
In the financial year to 31st October 2023, Keepmoat delivered a record number of new homes and a strong financial performance against the backdrop of economic volatility, high inflation, rising interest rates and reduced buyer confidence which has characterised the year. The business delivered a record 4,074 high-quality new homes at an average £211k selling price, generating revenues of £864.6m and £101.4m of EBITDA. At this time, Keepmoat also employed 1,112 people, 7% of whom were trainees, apprentices or graduates.
As a key and pro-active member of the Scottish Regional Board, the Regional Finance Director role supports the Divisional Finance Director and Regional Managing Director in driving delivery of the budget and strategic direction, leadership and management in finance controls and business planning and corporate governance and leads the regional Finance team. In addition, they challenge others to drive performance improvement without damaging confidence levels or performance output.
Keepmoat is a large, fast-paced company and the successful candidate will play a critical role in supporting current performance and helping drive future success. The Finance Director will possess a natural business partner mindset, constantly seeking opportunities to support their stakeholders to deliver positive results.
It would be advantageous if candidates have a background in similar industries or from other large, contract-led business environments. However, above all is the requirement for the right fit for the business and its people, so applications are welcomed from individuals from a range of backgrounds.
A highly attractive salary, benefits package and bonus structure commensurate with the background and experience required for the role is on offer. More details on remuneration are available upon enquiry.
