HBF Policy Conference 2025

HBF Policy Conference 2025 - BOOK NOW!

HBF POLICY CONFERENCE - THURSDAY MARCH 27th - 1 WIMPOLE STREET, LONDON.

Homes England interim chief executive Eamonn Boylan is to address the new homes industry at this year’s HBF Policy Conference in London in March.

Boylan took up the role in January, saying he was “ready to deliver on the government’s goal of delivering 1.5 million new homes during this parliament”.

He will speak to delegates about Homes England’s vital role in working with the industry to deliver new homes, a task reinforced by housing minister Matthew Pennycook last year in a letter to HE chair Peter Freeman. Pennycook said he expected Homes England “to do everything in its power to accelerate development and increase (new homes) delivery”.

Government chief planner Joanna Averley will also address the conference just three months after the publication of the new National Planning Policy Framework. Other speakers include Lloyds Banking Group head of housing development & sustainability Andy Dean, New Homes Quality Board ceo Emma Toms and Mark Aedy, chairman of EMEA and Asia at global investment bank Moelis & Company, who will take a City view of the sector.

The HBF Policy Conference will analyse the market, delve into recent planning changes, discuss mortgages and finance, examine structural changes in the corporate aspect of the industry, look at government policy, and explore the challenges of skills, resources, materials and innovation. In addition there will be insights into the industry’s environmental, sustainability and quality issues and discussion on how innovation and excellence will help on the road to net zero.

The conference is also an ideal opportunity for industry networking, attracting - as it does - senior figures in UK new homes delivery.
