Stephen said: “I am delighted to have been appointed as managing director at FHM North East and am looking forward to building on the excellent work that David Mellor has carried out during his time in the role.

“These are exciting times for FHM and the Keepmoat Group as a whole – I will be developing on the excellent reputation we have built up here in the North East whilst also ensuring our operations in Scotland continue to grow. “

David Mellor, who has held the managing directors post at FHM North East since 2002, will now work from Keepmoat’s Doncaster headquarters.

His new role will focus on the delivery of new products and innovative solutions and supporting Keepmoat’s business units across the country.
