With more than 16 years’ experience in the land and planning sector, Mr Stewart was land manager at CALA Homes (West) for four years before returning to the firm after a two-year stint as senior land manager at Avant Homes.

Now responsible for leading short-term land opportunities and acquiring new sites in the west region, his expertise in Glasgow’s urban offering will support CALA’s ambition to increase its city-centre developments over the coming years.

Mr Stewart said: “Already it has been rewarding to return to CALA Homes (West) in a senior position and I’m looking forward to bolstering the team as we press ahead with ambitious proposals.

“With a number of exciting projects in the pipeline and many live developments already attracting significant interest, including our Prince’s Quay and flagship Jordanhill Park sites, I’m eager to help elevate CALA’s offering in the market.

“Although the business has progressed over the last two years, its commitment to delivering high-quality, innovative homes hasn’t wavered and it’s great to return and help build on its already solid foundation.”

During his previous employment at CALA Homes (West), Mr Stewart was a key project manager in progressing the Jackton development which will see the firm deliver 173 homes as part of a consortium which aims to build 1,950 houses in the South Lanarkshire region. Prior to this, he also held positions at Clyde Gateway and Barratt Homes.

Jim McIntyre, managing director of CALA Homes (West), said: “It’s a pleasure to welcome Moray back into the CALA Group and I’m confident that he will be an invaluable member of the team at a very important time for the business. His experience is well-matched to our ambitious business strategy of increasing our first-class residential developments across urban regions in the west of Scotland.

“We recognise that many people have different priorities when it comes to choosing a home. Buyers are seeking well-connected communities with access to civic amenities and green space, and that’s what we offer across our developments. We will continue to bring to the market quality homes that are a response to modern-day living.”
