Homes for Scotland (HfS) has announced its Chief Executive Philip Hogg is to leave the organisation in the coming months.

He is to become Managing Director of property developer Bancon Group.

During his career, Mr Hogg has held numerous roles within the house-building sector, including pHc, SynGro, Sorough and Miller Homes.

Chairman of HfS, Jim Mather, said: "Philip will continue in his post during his notice period, working with his Executive Team to deliver Homes for Scotland's business objectives and meet members' day-to-day needs and requirements.


"In addition, he will help us in the recruitment of his successor and, in the process, consolidate the progress that he has made for Homes for Scotland and our members in the difficult years following the financial crisis."

Mr Hogg added: "As one of the northeast's most recognised homebuilding brands, Bancon has enjoyed exceptional growth over the past 25 years which has been driven through its people.

"I look forward to helping build on this solid foundation and growing Bancon to the next stage in its evolution."
