Taylor Wimpey Chief Executive Jennie Daly has been appointed Chair of the Future Homes Hub, taking over the role on 10 June 2026. She replaces David Thomas, Chief Executive of Barratt Redrow, who was appointed in 2022 as the organisation’s inaugural Chair.
The Future Homes Hub is an industry organisation set up to accelerate the housebuilding sector’s transition to building zero carbon and sustainable homes at scale. It has 200 members across the value chain, including over 100 residential developers.
Implementation boards and sector commitments
Over the past three years, the Hub has established a series of implementation boards focused on topics including the Future Homes Standard, biodiversity net gain and embodied carbon.
Last year, it also published a net zero transition plan for the new homes sector and launched a ‘Homes for Nature’ commitment. The commitment is intended to make nature-friendly measures such as bird bricks and hedgehog highways standard across the developments of those signed up.
Daly said the Hub had “established itself as a central mechanism for bringing policymakers and the new homes sector together to inform and deliver on future standards”.
“It is fundamentally important that the homes and places we build are sustainable, affordable, and provide the foundations for people, communities and nature to thrive in the long term,” said Daly.
Thomas added: “The new homes industry has made enormous strides in recent years to meet the climate and environmental challenges of the 21st century.
“I am immensely proud of the work the Future Homes Hub has done to support the sector, driving a collaborative culture, supporting SMEs and developing solutions that work for customers and the environment.
“As we face new challenges in the years ahead, Jennie is ideally placed to help lead the Hub through this next phase.”
