Barratt Redrow has promoted Alison Condie to regional managing director for Scotland, succeeding Douglas MacLeod who is retiring after more than 50 years with the company.

Paisley-born Ms Condie, 53, previously held the roles of regional director for Scotland and managing director for the East of Scotland.

She has a wealth of experience within the housebuilding industry – having started with Kelvin Homes in Coatbridge in 1992.

She relocated to Edinburgh in 1995 to take up a position as quantity surveyor for Beazer Homes in Livingston (later taken over by Persimmon Homes), where she rose over ten years to commercial manager and then director. She joined Barratt in 2005 as technical director.

“Douglas McLeod is revered within the Scottish housebuilding industry,” she said. “This role is a prime opportunity for me to build on the success of the Scottish divisions and the Oregon Timber Frame business in the years ahead, as we aim to tackle the country’s housing crisis.

“In five years’ time, Barratt Redrow will still be leading on sustainability, design and the customer journey, and will still be the largest housebuilder in the UK with the introduction of the Redrow brand.”

Mr McLeod said: “After more than five decades with the Barratt family, I’ve decided to retire. This really has been a ‘career for life’, and I leave with many fond memories and experiences of working with a range of talented people at the company and within the wider industry.

“I know that the Scottish division will be in safe hands under Alison, and I wish her and her team all the best as she steps into her new role.”
