Tamworth-based housebuilder Owl Homes has appointed a new managing director. 

Mike Kelly has joined the firm, bringing with him circa three decades of industry experience from senior leadership roles at Bloor Homes and Bellway Homes

He said: “The Owl team is ambitious, forward-thinking and has bold plans for future growth. 

“The opportunity to join the company at such a pivotal time was just the challenge I was looking for. I’m excited to lead the business forward; growing our visibility as we launch new developments and establish strong communities across the Midlands.” 

Owl, which recently celebrated its 10th anniversary, is preparing to officially launch three new village developments this winter, bringing 169 new homes across Gloucestershire and Leicestershire. 

Mike added: “It’s a real privilege to be leading Owl Homes as the business reached its 10th birthday. In just a decade, Owl has built a strong reputation, recognised for quality design, exceptional customer service and thriving communities in sought-after locations.  

“My intention is to strengthen this, ensuring Owl remains a trusted name for homeowners. I’m confident we have the team in place to deliver and am pleased to confirm that along with the trio of developments at Alderton, Burton on the Wolds and Stoke Golding, we have a healthy pipeline for 2026, including new locations for the Owl brand such as Droitwich.  

“Milestones present a natural opportunity to consider achievements and regroup for the road ahead. As we reflect on ten years of Owl Homes, we’re exceptionally proud to have created over 1,000 new homes and contributed £4.7 million to support local communities. Now, our vision is to elevate this and become the developer of choice for the Midlands.”
