“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,” he says.

Forsyth says: “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.”
