Yorkshire-based housebuilder Thomas Alexander Homes has announced the appointments of Dave Witney as Technical Director and Steven Lister as Construction Director, strengthening its Senior Management Team as it pursues its ambitious growth plans for 2026.
In his new role, Mr Witney will lead Thomas Alexander Homes’ Technical Team, delivering high-quality, sustainable and stylish modern homes in the most efficient manner possible by overseeing all aspects of design management, planning, compliance and the alignment of technical strategy with the company’s business goals.
Mr Witney will also be responsible for managing external consultants and liaising with the company’s stakeholders, including its Land, Construction, Commercial and Sales teams.
Boasting nearly 40 years of experience in the property sector, new Construction Director Steven Lister will lead Thomas Alexander Homes’ Construction Team, where he will be responsible for ensuring the company’s builds are delivered on schedule and within budget, while also continuing to develop and improve the team.
Alex Blease, Managing Director at Thomas Alexander Homes, said:
“Appointing Steven and Dave is a real statement of intent. Between them, they bring almost eight decades of hands-on construction experience – from Steven starting out as an apprentice joiner at just 16, to Dave reaching an impressive 40 years in the industry this year. That depth of knowledge, work ethic and leadership will be invaluable as we continue to grow.
“What also really excites us is that both Steven and Dave share our belief that the little things matter. Despite Dave having worked for some of the largest housebuilders in the country, he recognised that Thomas Alexander Homes is a place where quality, people and pride in delivery genuinely come first. Steven is a fantastic role model for the next generation and together they’ll help to drive us forward as a progressive, ambitious business that’s committed to building outstanding homes in beautiful locations across Yorkshire throughout 2026 and beyond.”
Founded in 2017 by brothers Alex and Tom Blease, Thomas Alexander Homes has established a reputation for creating sustainable homes that combine quality with comfort in new developments that blend seamlessly into the natural surroundings in which they are located.
