Campion Homes strengthens leadership team with new Commercial Director and senior promotions

Campion Homes Executive Team

Campion Homes has announced the appointment of Billy Bald as its new Commercial Director, further enhancing the company’s strategic leadership as it continues to deliver high‑quality homes and communities across east central Scotland. Billy’s appointment comes ahead of the retirements later this year of long-standing employees Alan Chalmers, Commercial Director and Ali Graham, Surveying Director.

Billy joined the business in February, bringing with him a broad and deeply rooted commercial background built over two decades in the housebuilding sector. His career includes nearly 20 years at two of the UK’s leading national housebuilders, where he spent the last eight years as Commercial Manager.

Billy will have a focus on strengthening commercial strategy, enhancing supply‑chain performance, supporting land and development decisions, and driving value across projects. His remit includes leading the day‑to‑day operations of Campion Homes’ commercial team, working closely with customers, managing budgets and costs, and collaborating with colleagues across land, technical and sales.

On his appointment, Billy Bald said: “It’s an exciting time to be joining Campion Homes and contributing to the next stage of its journey. Having worked with both national and regional housebuilders, I’ve seen first‑hand the difference that strong commercial rigour, collaboration and long‑term relationships can make and Campion is recognised for all of these strengths.

“While the market remains positive, there are still challenges to navigate, and I’m looking forward to working closely with our customers, supply chain partners and colleagues across the business to deliver high‑quality homes and continued value. Campion has built an excellent reputation over many years, and I’m proud to play a part in supporting its next chapter of growth.”

In addition to welcoming Billy, Campion Homes has also recognised its senior team with three individuals being promoted to Director level.

Mike Hay has been promoted to Development Director. Since joining Campion Homes in 2000, Mike has played a central role in shaping the company’s development pipeline. His promotion reflects his creativity, determination, and strong ability to build relationships and unlock new opportunities. Mike will continue to champion developments that make a meaningful and lasting difference in the communities Campion serves.

Judy Anderson has been promoted to Finance Director. Joining the business in 2017, Judy has led the finance team with clarity, confidence, and a long‑term strategic view. Her promotion recognises her exceptional stewardship of Campion Homes’ financial health and her ability to empower teams with insight, structure, and support.

Kris Aitchison has been promoted to Construction Director. Kris joined Campion Homes in 2023 and has quickly established himself as a dynamic and principled leader of the company’s construction teams. His promotion to Construction Director reflects his commitment to excellence across safety, quality, and delivery, and his role in fostering a culture of pride and collaboration across every site.

Pete Bell, Founder and Chairman of Campion Homes, said: “Billy’s appointment and these senior promotions come at a key time for Campion Homes as we plan for the future. As we recognise the retirement of two valued long-serving colleagues, this refreshed senior team underlines our commitment to investing in our people, working collaboratively with our partners, and continuing to deliver homes and communities that genuinely make a difference”.
