Anton Chilton, 38, from Forest Hall, North Tyneside, joins Amethyst Homes as Site Manager at Vallum Heights in Newcastle.
He will be responsible for the day to day running of the construction site, ensuring projects are completed safely, on time, and within budget.
Anton, from Forest Hall, North Tyneside, previously worked for the regional division of a major national housebuilder. His diverse background also includes 18 months of service in the Royal Air Force and initial professional training as a physiotherapist.
“I was interested in moving from a large PLC developer to a smaller, regional house builder, like Amethyst, because of its strict focus on quality over quantity,” said Anton.
“In addition, I feel that as part of a smaller, close-knit team, you can offer a more supportive and personalised customer service to homebuyers.
“Buying a home is generally the biggest purchase people will make in their lifetime, so it is our responsibility to support them through the process and deliver a house that they are proud to call their home.
“Amethyst’s reputation for prioritising craftsmanship over volume perfectly aligns with my professional values, and I look forward to helping the team maintain its high standards.”
Richard Bass, Managing Director at Amethyst Homes, said: “It is great to bring Anton onboard; he is a welcome addition to our growing team.”
“As a business built around the core principles of quality and customer service, Anton’s focus on high standards and fair management makes him the perfect fit to build on our current success in the region.”
Outside of his career, Anton lives with his wife and two sons. He is an avid runner who completed the world-famous Great North Run last year and is currently training for two ultra-marathons later this year.
