In a brief stock exchange announcement this morning the company said: “Inland Homes announces that Group Managing Director Gary Skinner’s employment with the Company terminated with immediate effect on 5 April 2022.

“Accordingly, he has stepped down from the Board.”

Skinner joined Inland Homes in 2016 from Willmott Dixon where he was operations director of the contractor’s housing division.

Before that he worked at George Wimpey, latterly as a production director responsible for site delivery in East London.

At Inland Skinner was directly in charge of the firm’s construction activities and project delivery.
