Gerard chats to Steve Errington, MD of Yorkshire-based housebuilder, Stonebridge Homes, which he joined in 2018 after leading his previous firm, Story Homes, from a £26m to a £250m-turnover business within six years.
In this interview, Steve discusses many of the lessons he learned from heading a business through such explosive growth and how he is bringing them to Stonebridge, for which he has similar aspirations, with targets to expand it from a 150- to a 1000-unit business.
Discipline, communication and goal-clarity feature high on Steve’s list of musts, along with succession planning, staff development, getting the right person for the job and attracting new talent to the industry.
