A housing developer has announced the appointment of three new board members.

Blueprint Housing & Investments, a developer in the sustainable housing sector based in Bolton, has appointed Paul Greaves, Richard Hirst, and Julian Wiley to its board of directors.

The company said the new appointments align with its mission to 'revolutionise social housing through sustainable energy solutions and ethical investments.'

The company is now poised for 'significant expansion', targeting multi-million-pound projects to address fuel poverty and decarbonisation in the UK housing sector.

The new board members bring 'decades of combined experience' in renewable energy, business growth, and corporate governance to the company.

Julian Wiley, a 'veteran' in the renewable energy sector with 23 years of experience, has managed large-scale projects that have achieved energy cost reductions.

His work includes overseeing initiatives involving 7,000 properties, resulting in 'an average 70 per cent reduction in energy bills.'

Paul Greaves brings six years of experience in renewable energy, specialising in social housing rollout and improving Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings.

With a broader 30-year background in building sales channels and expertise in IT and telecoms, Mr Greaves adds a 'valuable perspective' to Blueprint's operations.

Richard Hirst contributes more than 35 years of business growth experience.

With a technical background as a chemist and experience as a non-executive director, Mr Hirst offers a 'well-rounded' perspective on sustainable business practices and corporate governance.

Connor O'Rourke, director at Blueprint Housing & Investments, said: "We are thrilled to welcome Paul, Richard, and Julian to the Blueprint board.

"Their wealth of experience and skills are invaluable as we aim for significant growth in a market demanding innovative social housing and renewable energy solutions.

"Their support will drive meaningful change in the sector."

With 6.5 million households currently in fuel poverty, Blueprint aims to tackle this growing crisis.

Looking to the future, Blueprint has 'ambitious plans' for growth and impact.

The company aims to start big and build the infrastructure necessary for sustained expansion, 'setting new standards in sustainable housing and ethical investment.'
