Keyland Developments Ltd, the property trading arm of Kelda Group and sister-company to Yorkshire Water, has expanded its Board with the appointment of two new directors.
Chris Johns joins the Board alongside his current role as Chief Financial Officer at Yorkshire Water. Chris joined Yorkshire Water in 2021 from his former role as finance director of Northumbrian Water Limited.
Also strengthening the Board is Gaynor Carpenter who joins alongside her current role as head of land & property at Yorkshire Water.
Chris and Gaynor will sit alongside existing members Liz Barber, who is chair and Chief Executive of Kelda Group, Peter Garrett, Managing Director of Keyland, and Luke Axe, who took his place on the Board last year following his promotion to land and planning director for Keyland.
Liz Barber said: “We are delighted to welcome Chris and Gaynor to the Board, who both bring a wide amount of experience with them in their roles providing strategic and practical leadership to a number of businesses.
“These latest appointments are designed to strengthen the Keyland Board as we look to expand the business beyond our traditional residential and industrial sectors and build on our Six Capitals approach to development, which now sees us promoting more than 9,000 residential units and 4.5 million square feet of commercial development.”
