King will join Kier today from Lovell Partnership Homes where he was managing director for its Midlands region.
His appointment follows a recent restructure of the business.
King, who will be based in Tempsford, Bedfordshire, will be asked to build on the the existing private and social housing businesses to create a successful division offering mixed tenure housing over a range of developments and geographical areas.
Kier Group chief executive John Dodds commented: “I am confident that Chris will be an asset to the business and, along with the rest of the Kier Partnership Homes team, will shape a division that meets the demands of today’s market place and is well positioned to take advantage of new opportunities as they emerge.”
