A housebuilding veteran who has spent more than four decades shaping businesses across the East Midlands, is delivering his expertise to Derbyshire-based Casamia Homes. Tom Finnegan has seen the market at its highest highs, successfully navigated its lowest lows and helped build two of the region’s most successful housebuilding businesses. Today, he brings that experience to Casamia Homes on Pride Park.
A quantity surveyor by profession, Tom played a leading role in growing Birch Construction before its acquisition by The Miller Group. He later co-founded Radleigh Homes, growing the business from scratch into one of the East Midlands’ leading regional housebuilders.
By the time of its sale to Redrow Homes in 2017, Radleigh was delivering hundreds of homes each year and had built a significant development pipeline. Tom served as Joint Managing Director throughout Radleigh’s growth and continued in the same Managing Director role following the acquisition by Redrow.
Despite enjoying a successful career with larger businesses, Tom always knew there would come a time when he wanted to help create another regional housebuilder.
He said: “Following the sale of Radleigh to Redrow, a number of the team I’d worked alongside for many years wanted to start something themselves. Dan was considering establishing his own construction business, whilst George and Danielle were keen to create a housebuilding business, bringing together their expertise in land, sales and marketing.”
