Building our Workforce!

We are pleased to announce that Howard Young, 49 and from Greenhill, has joined SHC and will be responsible for managing the delivery of over 550 houses on our existing live sites, as well as planning for the next phase of six sites and more than 350 homes to be brought forward over the next five years.

Howard brings a wealth of experience to the role having worked in architecture and both public and private sector housing, including the transformation of the renowned Kelham Island.   

He said: “Born and bred in Sheffield, I have an affinity and passion for the area, so when the opportunity arose to apply to work for SHC, I was very interested.  Over the last few years, SHC and its partners have been responsible for delivering new, high quality, affordable housing that has enabled many to step onto the property ladder in their home city and encouraged others to move to the area

“I am really looking forward to this role and the challenges ahead, most of which I feel will be influenced by the current economic climate, pressures on supply chain, employment and household incomes. I am confident that SHC's proven track record and expertise will continue to find innovative and creative ways to address housing need in Sheffield.”

In his spare time, Howard enjoys time with his family, dog walking, cycling and local football.

Steve Birch, Project Director with SHC added: “We are delighted to welcome Howard to the SHC team, we are confident that his experience, knowledge and familiarity of Sheffield will play a pivotal part in helping to drive our projects forward.”
