Speakers will discuss whether the new government can deliver the promised 300,000 new homes a year.

With the Labour Government targeting the delivery of 300,000 new homes a year, housebuilding will be high on the agenda at the BMF All Industry Conference next June.  

Jennie Daly CBE, Chief Executive of Taylor Wimpey plc and Neil Jefferson, Chief Executive of the Home Builders Federation will address the conference and lead a Q&A session on this highly topical subject.

Daly brings with her over 30 years’ experience in the sector. She is passionate about the social and economic benefits that housebuilding brings to communities across the UK and is an active member of the industry federation and has been CEO of Taylor Wimpey, one of the UK’s largest residential developers, since 2022, having previously been Group Operations Director of the company.

Daly is also a member of the HBF Board, a non-executive director of New Homes Quality Board Limited, and previously served as a Board member for a not-for-profit housing trust. Having begun her career in the public sector, in local authority and planning roles, Daly has extensive experience across the housebuilding sector and has demonstrated exceptional leadership and a razor-sharp operational focus throughout her career.

Jefferson joined the HBF in 2020 and heads an organisation whose members deliver around 80% of the new homes built in England and Wales each year.  He is also a non-executive director at Future Homes Hub, an organisation that he and HBF co-founded in October 2021, and that brings together the new homes sector with ways to address climate and environmental challenges. Jerfferson’s previous roles include Chief Operating Officer of NHBC and Chief Executive of the Zero Carbon Hub, providing leadership in the government’s vision for zero carbon homes.

BMF CEO John Newcomb said: “The. UK urgently needs new homes, yet economic conditions in recent time have led to a significant fall in new housing starts over the past 12 months. Now the government has promised measures to kick start the delivery of ‘homes fit for the future’.  I, for one, will be fascinated to hear the views of our speakers as to whether this will translate to the promised 300,000 new homes a year.”
