House builder rings changes on day new chief exec starts

On the day Greg Fitzgerald started as chief executive of Bovis Homes, the embattled housebuilder yesterday announced it has appointed a 30 year industry veteran to head up its southern arm.

The Southern region is part of the firm鈥檚 East division and its managing director James Watson said: 鈥淪teve鈥檚 appointment is a continuation of our drive to employ the best possible talent to take our regional teams forward.鈥�

The Southern region is based in Kent and sells homes across the south of England.
