Morro Partnerships appoints two managing directors

Midlands-based developer Morro Partnerships has appointed two new managing directors to lead regional growth.

Tom Broadway will head the West Midlands division, bringing over 20 years of experience in construction, including roles at Balfour Beatty and Galliford Try. 

Simon Preston takes charge in the East Midlands, leveraging three decades in the industry, including 20 years at Westleigh.

Both will focus on building partnerships and delivering high-quality affordable housing across the region.

Tom said: “I firmly believe in Morro’s vision and values, and I'm excited to work with our partners to build lasting relationships and deliver much-needed affordable housing in the region that means so much to me. 

“Seeing families move into new homes is a great feeling and I truly believe this is where my passion lies.

“I will also be focused on fostering a solid team culture and driving our sustainability agenda as we prepare for the Future Homes Standard, and the drive for more energy efficient housing. 

“Drawing on my own experience and the opportunities I was given, I also want to be an advocate for developing the next generation of construction professionals through mentorship and training."

Simon added: “I’m proud to be joining Morro and to have been offered this exciting opportunity to lead the East Midlands team. 

“The commitment to people, innovation, and sustainable practices at Morro aligns perfectly with my own values and it feels like a pivotal time to be involved.

“There are a number of challenges within construction and the housing sector as it stands, but with that comes opportunity to innovate, and I look forward to working with the talented team here to expand our reach in the East Midlands and deliver exceptional value to our clients and communities.”

Matt Moore, chief executive at Morro, added: “Both Tom and Simon share Morro's core values, including a people-first approach, a focus on sustainability, and a dedication to building longstanding partnerships. 

“They will play a crucial role in driving the company's ambitious growth plans and solidifying our position as a leading partnerships developer.

“With a growing pipeline of more than £500m alongside more than 20 live construction projects, we have a keen focus on sustainable expansion while making a positive impact on the industry.

“We are proud to be one of the region’s largest true partnerships’ businesses, and both Tom and Simon share the same passion as I do in Morro making a positive impact in our communities and industry.”
