Owl brings in former Lovell finance chief for Midlands push
Tamworth housebuilder Owl Group has appointed former Lovell finance director Steve Breslin as group chief financial officer.
Breslin will join the group’s leadership team and oversee its financial strategy across its Owl Homes and Owl Partnerships businesses, starting this month.
He has more than 20 years’ experience in the housebuilding and construction sectors, having held senior finance roles at Taylor Wimpey, Galliford Try Partnerships and Lovell Partnerships.
Solihull-based Breslin will work alongside Owl Group’s regional managing directors, Paul Breen in the West Midlands and Mike Kelly in the East Midlands.
“This is an exciting opportunity to join an established business with ambitious plans,” he said.
“Owl’s growth over the past year has been impressive, and it has built a strong pipeline of land opportunities to keep that momentum going.
“The Group has a talented team in place and there’s a real sense of energy around the business. Working closely with our two regional MDs, Paul Breen (West Midlands) and Mike Kelly (East Midlands), I’m looking forward to building on what has already been achieved and helping shape the next phase of growth,”
Owl’s growth director, Amanda Bishop, said Breslin’s appointment forms part of its plans to develop its operations across the Midlands.
“Bringing someone of Steve’s calibre into the business is an important step forward,” she said.
“We’ve grown considerably over recent years, but we’re also very clear that there is much more we want to achieve. Steve has operated at the highest level within our industry and brings the financial and commercial partnerships experience we need as we move into that next stage.”
