Gornall steps up at Great Places
Nick Gornall has been promoted to the role of director of development at the housing group.
Reporting to Helen Spencer, Great Places’ recently appointed executive director of growth, Gornall will be responsible for overseeing the organisation’s affordable development teams and the delivery of the group’s £1bn affordable housing development programme.
Gornall joined Great Places in 2016 as a development manager before moving into his current position of head of development the following year, leading the delivery of the shared ownership and affordable homes and Homes England ‘Strategic Partnership 1’ programmes, amounting to more than 2,000 new homes in that time.
He has also been involved in a number of bids, most recently the successful second strategic partnership bid with Homes England and Great Places’ Innovation Chain North procurement framework.
Gornall said: “I’m really looking forward to taking on this new challenge and continuing playing a leading role in developing the team and helping Great Places realise its ambitious development plans.”
Spencer added: “Nick has achieved some incredible things in the past five years, successfully overseeing the building of over 2,000 affordable homes as well as being hugely influential in the professional development of many colleagues within our award-winning team.”
Gornall will begin work in his new role from June.
