Ilke Homes, which last month signed a deal worth £100m to supply factory-built homes to Places for People, has named two new appointments to its national land operation.

Former Crest Nicholson directors Tristin Willis and Tom Heathcote have joined their former colleague and now Ilke managing director Ben Miller to spearhead the modular homes specialist’s expansion plans.

Miller joined Ilke Homes in April from Crest Nicholson, where he led the housebuilder’s Midlands operation.
