James Pikett has previously worked at Taylor Wimpey and Berkeley Homes.
Offsite housebuilding specialist Project Etopia has appointed James Pikett as its development director.
Having spent over a decade in the industry Pikett has held positions at businesses such as Taylor Wimpey and Berkeley Homes, working across a diverse portfolio of complex and mixed-use projects.
Joseph Daniels, chief executive at Project Etopia, said: “The appointment of James is really important for us.
“The research and development that has been going into our properties is on-going but we have arrived at the moment where we can look to expand our pipeline of new land.
“We will be relying on his extensive experience to identify the right opportunities for schemes that we hope will become destination developments for both ecologically conscious homeowners as well as those who just like the energy bill savings these properties offer.
“We’re delighted to have him on board.”
Pikett added: “I was delighted that, during my time at Berkeley homes, the company took its sustainable responsibilities so seriously and Project Etopia is a natural progression for me.
“It is clear that the environment and homes that are ‘beyond zero carbon’ are going to come to define this sector.
“Helping to put a relatively young company like Etopia at the forefront of this pretty seismic shift in the industry is exactly the challenge I was looking for.”
