Tara Group has made three key director appointments and 12 internal promotions to support its future growth.
The family-owned business, which is made up of construction specialists Chasetown Civil Engineering, Cameron Homes and Keon Homes, has promoted Bethan Stimpson and Robert Tarn as Group Finance Director and Group Health, Safety and Environmental Director respectively.
The duo is playing a key role in the ambitious plans of the group, which together sources and acquires land, provides civil engineering and groundworks, builds home for open market sale and private rent, and works with local authorities and partners to deliver affordable housing.
Matt Beckley is the third senior promotion, taking on the role of Partnerships Director at Keon Homes after overseeing the acquisition of key sites and navigating the firm’s move into the Extra Care space.
Sir John Crabtree, Chair of Tara Group, said: “We are committed to supporting all our people and providing as many opportunities as possible for them to develop their skills and anchor their careers with us.
“Our expansion is down to the industry-leading individuals that we employ, and I am absolutely delighted to see Bethan, Robert and Matt come through as directors. The surest way for our business to succeed is to encourage and support the great people who work for us in every way we can.”
Bethan joined the Tara Group finance department last year, after working as Head of Legacy for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
Recognised in the 2023 King’s New Years Honours list for services to young people, she will now be responsible for overseeing the finance functions for all three companies.
Robert, who has recently been appointed onto the Chartered Institute of Building’s Health, Safety and Wellbeing advisory panel, has been with the group since 2020. His new role looks to meet latest legislation and continue to leave a positive social and environmental footprint on the societies the group operates in.
A dozen other promotions have been made, mostly construction staff who have been described by Sir John Crabtree as individuals who are “the heartbeat of our business”.
