Following a 20-year career across a variety of industries, Worksop-born Jason Peel is proud to take on the role of Engineering Manager for Harron Homes Yorkshire.
With over 10 years in the housebuilder industry, as well as 20 years in the engineering industry overall, Jason’s move will bring his extensive knowledge to Harron.
Jason, 46, began his diverse career over 20 years ago, in 2001, at a London-based land-surveying company.
Subsequently moving to Leicestershire, Jason took on a traffic management role at Leicestershire County Council. After leaving the Council, Jason went on to work at WYG, a Civil engineering company. At the same time, Jason studied part time to secure a Civil Engineering degree, graduating in 2010 with a 2:1 BSc in Civil Engineering from Coventry University, a feat of no small significance given the workload he was juggling at the time.
Jason has extensive experience in the housing development business, having worked at another housebuilder company for three years prior to his new role at Harron.
“There’s a great amount of flexibility at Harron, with a lot of opportunity to get involved in other aspects of the business,” says Jason. “I was excited by the prospect of heading a new team in a company that has ambitious business plans.”
“The change of environment has been really exciting, and I welcome the challenge. The technical team I work with are also just spectacular; everyone has a great mindset and a will to constantly improve.
“When you come into a new business, you’re not necessarily looking to reinvent the wheel; you want to make careful, effective changes that help the team and the business while improving the quality of customer care.”
Jason enjoys supporting his football team, Liverpool, and playing the guitar in his spare time. “Though,” he says, “I should say I spend a lot more time dusting the guitar than actually playing it!”
Technical Director for Harron Homes, Jason Pritchard, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Jason to the team at Harron. His track record and experience are really impressive, and we’re confident that his keen focus on his team, as well as his desire to work hard, will make him a wonderful addition to the company.”
