Steven Boyes is retiring after 47 years at giant housebuilder
The chief operating officer and deputy group chief executive at housebuilder giant Barratt Redrow has announced his retirement.
Steven Boyes will stand down on 6 September, although he will “remain available” to Barratt until next March.
Boyes joined Barratt in 1978 as a junior quantity surveyor and worked in numerous roles for the firm over the years. He progressed through the business to assume the roles of technical director and managing director of Barratt York, before being appointed regional director for Barratt Northern in 1999. Steven joined the board as a regional chairman and executive director in July 2001.
He was appointed as COO and deputy CEO of Barratt in 2016 and then took the same positions in the enlarged group following the £2.5bn merger of Barratt Redrow last year.
Latterly, Boyes has been responsible for Barratt Redrow’s housebuilding operations, its timber frame manufacturing business, Oregon, along with group land activity.
Caroline Silver, chair of Barratt Redrow, said: “Steven has developed a highly disciplined and industry-leading operations team, who will ensure that we maintain the unrivalled credentials which Steven has helped us to earn. The board wishes Steven and his family every happiness in his retirement.”

Boyes said: “I am hugely grateful for the many opportunities and experiences that the business has given me.
“I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside many excellent colleagues across the group and I believe the group is incredibly well positioned for the future.”
Barratt Redrow last month said its full-year profit will be towards the upper end of market expectations as it published its first interim results since its £2.5bn merger in the summer. The housebuilder, in a bullish update said its adjusted profit-before tax will now be towards £588m, ahead of the consensus figure of £542m.
