The Hill Group appoints regional managing director

Housebuilder The Hill Group has appointed John Fitzgerald as managing director for its Eastern Residential and Western regions as it progresses an ambitious five-year growth strategy.

John brings more than 35 years’ experience across construction and residential development, having started his career with Willmott Dixon before joining Furlong Homes and later spending more than two decades at Telford Homes, where he became group managing director.

In his new role, John will provide strategic leadership across two of Hill’s largest regional businesses, working with its construction, development, technical, commercial and sales teams to strengthen operational performance and support the delivery of its growing development pipeline.

John’s appointment creates additional leadership capacity as Hill works towards its ambition of doubling annual turnover to £2.3 billion by 2030, with key developments in John's regions including schemes in Cambridge, Buckinghamshire, Oxford, Barnet and Windsor.

Andy Hill OBE, founder and chief executive of The Hill Group, said: “John is a highly respected leader in our industry and brings an exceptional depth of experience across both construction and residential development. 

“Having worked together earlier in our careers, I know first-hand the calibre of leadership he brings, his passion for developing people and his unwavering commitment to quality.

"We have an ambitious vision for the future of Hill, with a clear strategy to grow the business significantly over the next five years while remaining true to the values that have underpinned our success. 

“John’s appointment strengthens our senior leadership team and will play an important role in delivering our five-year strategic plan as we work towards doubling the size of the business. 

“His experience in leading complex organisations, developing talented people and driving operational excellence will be invaluable as we continue to grow.”
