Strata has announced James Thomson, former chief executive of Keepmoat Homes and Gleeson, as its non-executive director. The housebuilder said that in his role - which Strata has created in response to the industry’s “significant challenges” – Thomson would offer independent challenge, guidance and strategic support to the board. He is set to work alongside the senior leadership team “as Strata continues to strengthen its position as a collaborative, purpose-led housebuilder delivering sustainable growth”.
