The head of Scotland’s trade body for the house-building sector has moved back into the industry by taking a job at local firm Bancon Group

Philip Hogg will become managing director of Bancon’s homes business once he leaves his role as chief executive of Homes for Scotland (HfS) incoming months.

Mr Hogg’s appointment is the latest in a series of high profile senior management appointments made by Bancon as it pushes forward with its ambitious five year growth plan.

During his 30 career, Mr Hogg has held numerous roles within the house-building sector, most recently with pHc, SynGro, Sorouh and Miller Homes, focusing on customer service and marketing. Prior to joining Homes for Scotland he was founder and director of Visitor Feedback, a unique customer feedback system for homebuilders.

Crathes-based Bancon Group’s current projects include high profile homes sites Milltimber West, Aspire and Maidencraig in Aberdeen as well as developments in Aboyne, Banchory, Drumoak and Tarves.

John Irvine, chief executive of Bancon Group, said: “The housebuilding market in the north-east remains strong, despite the drop in oil price, and we are confident of achieving our growth plans.

“Strengthening the senior management team is part of our aim to transform and grow the Bancon brand. With a wealth of experience and strong focus on delivering for customers, Philip is an excellent appointment for our homes business where we have a reputation for delivering quality and prestige.”

Mr Hogg added: “As one of the north-east’s most recognised homebuilding brands, Bancon has enjoyed exceptional growth over the past 25 years which has been driven through its people. I look forward to helping build on this solid foundation and growing Bancon to the next stage in its evolution.”

Jim Mather, chairman of HfS said: “Philip will continue in his post during his notice period, working with his executive team to deliver Homes for Scotland’s business objectives and meet members’ day-to-day needs and requirements.

“In addition, he will help us in the recruitment of his successor and, in the process, consolidate the progress that he has made for Homes for Scotland and our members in the difficult years following the financial crisis.

“In particular, over the past three and a half years, Philip has raised the profile of home building to ensure that Homes for Scotland and its members play their full parts in boosting our country’s economic and social well-being, strengthening the mechanisms to engage and channel the ideas and needs of our members.

Bancon said it has turnover of £83million employs 300. The group comprises homes, construction and timber frame businesses.
