Award-winning housebuilder The Hill Group has announced the promotion of Matt Wilson to Group Technical Director, overseeing design and technical compliance across the business at a time when the UK’s second-largest private housebuilder continues to go from strength to strength. 

In his new role, Matt will lead the technical functions, making sure that all development plans align with current and forthcoming legislation. A key focus will be achieving compliance with the new Future Homes Standard, expected to be published later this year. Hill is already well-positioned to meet new requirements, having proactively introduced measures including early adoption of air-source heat pumps, reflecting a commitment to sustainability that exceeds industry standards. 

Matt will also play a key role in supporting the delivery of Hill’s new five-year business plan, which sets out a strategy for ambitious growth through a focus on mixed-tenure housing and partnership-led development. In addition, he will look at driving efficiencies through standardised approaches to development and contribute to the land acquisition strategy. 

Having joined Hill in 2008 as a Technical Co-ordinator, Matt has already spent over 17 years with the company. Most recently, he held the position of Technical Manager for the Eastern Region, where he was responsible for design and technical compliance across all residential developments in that area. Before joining Hill, he spent 13 years at David Wilson Homes, starting as a trainee and continuing through the company’s acquisition by Barratt Developments. 

Andy Hill OBE, Founder and Group Chief Executive of The Hill Group, said: “Matt is a long-standing and highly respected member of our team, and I’m delighted to recognise his valuable contribution with this well-deserved promotion. His technical expertise, deep understanding of our business, and commitment to quality and innovation will be instrumental as we continue to expand and uphold the high standards of design and sustainability that The Hill Group is known for.”
