Anglo-Irish developer announces appointment of Pat Dalton as his replacement
Residential developer Ballymore has announced the appointment of a new finance director to replace its longstanding FD David Pearson.
Pat Dalton (pictured left), most recently chief financial officer and an executive director of Canadian public company IPl Plastics, is to replace Pearson. He is stepping down at the end of 2021 after 10 years with the group.
Pearson led the recovery of the Anglo-Irish developer, which specialises in high-end London projects, after the financial crisis.
Prior to his time at IPI Plastics, former PwC accountant Dalton spent six years as chief financial officer (CFO) of a privately held international property development and construction group.
Sean Mulryan, chairman and chief executive of Ballymore, thanked Pearson for his contribution to the firm. He said he had been “an integral part of navigating the business through some of its most challenging periods post-financial crisis”.
He added that Dalton was “one of the most experienced finance directors in the business” and that “Pat’s expertise will be of considerable value to our business”.
The news came as housebuilding firm Vistry announced the appointment of a new MD for its partnerships business in Yorkshire.
Vistry said it had appointed Andrew Poyner (pictured right), formerly legal director of Strategic Team Group, which Vistry acquired in 2019, to the role with a brief to oversee a revised strategy for the business unit, focusing on large mixed tenure opportunities.
