Home Truths Episode 2: In violent agreement
Jenny Daly, chief executive of Taylor Wimpey, appears in today’s episode of Building Talk’s latest series which is focused on the housing crisis and is co-hosted by Jackie Sadek and Peter Bill.
Daly started her career as a planner, before joining Harrow Estates, a subsidiary of Redrow, where she had a number of roles before becoming managing director. She joined Taylor Wimpey in 2014 as UK director of planning, then land director, progressing to group operations director and finally chief executive in April 2022, taking over from Pete Redfern.
In this interview, Daly talks about the impact of the economic cycle on private sector housebuilders’ build-out rates of new homes.
The conversation ranges from the impact of housing shortages on community tensions in her native Northern Ireland to the urgent need to improve construction skills and her desire to see a top-down, long-term vision and strategy for the planning system from the next government.
Episodes of Home Truths will be available every Tuesday.
Introduced and edited by Chloe McCulloch, editorial director for Building and Housing Today. Audio production by Tariq Aziz.
