PAUL Smith, one of the original team of developers behind the Cambourne scheme, has returned to the site just outside Cambridge to head up Bovis Homes Eastern.

After 15 years of senior management within the building industry, he says he is looking forward to the challenge of managing a new region.

“Eastern region already has a strong foundation thanks to the hard work of everyone involved,” he said.

“It is my task to build and expand on that, to meet the challenges in the market place and to ensure we continue to deliver a first class product supported by excellent customer service to an ever-more discerning purchaser.”

He said his long-term aim was to secure more land so that they could increase the size of their market share and respond quickly to changes in demand.

“I am people-orientated and we are a strong team, so I am confident that together we can achieve the outstanding result I know this region is capable of achieving,” he said.

“I want to focus on accomplishing significant growth this year to give us a solid business to steer into the future.”
