We have promoted Mick Hanson to Construction Director, as he takes over from Andy Kirkpatrick who retires on Friday 31st May.
Mick, who has worked at Bargate Homes for almost five years, previously worked as Production Director, and has over 35 years of experience in the construction industry.
Mr Hanson has already introduced several programs and initiatives to Bargate Homes. These include an innovative platform – created by Mick himself – for project delivery and monitoring with sales/build integration, named the ‘Bargate Build Platform’. Mick has also been a key driving force for our involvement in the Women in Construction program, which welcomes women onto placements in construction-based roles.
Mark White, our Managing Director, said: “This is very much the end of an era. Andy Kirkpatrick is incredibly well known and liked across the housebuilding industry. He has been a true ambassador for Bargate Homes, ensuring exceptional standards across our supply chain and being instrumental in delivering beautiful homes built with quality craftsmanship to our customers.
“The future of this business could not be in better hands with Mick Hanson taking on the role of Construction Director from 1st June. He is already an integral part of the Bargate team, and has introduced new ways of working which have made us more efficient and quality-focused. Mick has set up Quality Monitoring systems to enable our QC teams to hone in and provide a very extensive regime of quality management, improving our customer experience scores and culminating in achieving company of the year with Premier Guarantee and several monthly quality awards.”
Andy Kirkpatrick has worked for us for nine years and has led the delivery of several of Bargate Homes’ key flagship developments and projects. Mick Hanson, our new Construction Director, said: “I am delighted to have been promoted to Construction Director, and carrying on the work of Andy Kirkpatrick who has made such a significant impact at Bargate, and will be greatly missed by all the team. As we embark on a period of ambitious growth, my biggest focus will be to further drive the company’s reputation for producing quality houses and apartments and providing exceptional customer service.”
