Robert Wilkinson appointed Operations Director
As we look ahead to a milestone year, we’re pleased to share an important appointment within our senior team. Robert Wilkinson has been appointed Operations Director at Verity & Co Homes
Rob joined us last year as Finance Director and has quickly become a valued part of the business, bringing people together, strengthening the way we work, and helping us prepare for the next chapter of growth.
His new role comes as Verity & Co Homes approaches 40 years of building homes across Yorkshire and Lancashire. Since 1986, we have remained proudly independent and family-owned, building close to 4,000 homes and working with a trusted network of local subcontractors and suppliers across the region.
At a time when independent housebuilders have become increasingly rare, our 40th year is an opportunity to reflect on what has shaped us, while continuing to look forward. For us, that means growing carefully, building thoughtfully, and staying close to the values that have guided the business for nearly four decades.
Sarah Barraclough, Managing Director at Verity & Co Homes, said:
“Reaching 40 years as an independent family business is something we’re proud of, particularly given how few builders of our size remain.
Rob has made a strong start since joining us, bringing our teams together under his lead and putting us in a good position for the work ahead.
What doesn’t change is how we build: with care, and with attention to the details that matter.”
Rob Wilkinson, Operations Director at Verity & Co Homes, said:
“Since joining, I’ve seen what makes this business what it is: people who care about getting the homes right, and a long-term, family-led approach. My focus is on our teams working closely together, so that the quality our customers expect holds as we take on new developments.”
