Sky-House Co appoints a new Operations Director

SKY-HOUSE Co, the Sheffield based house-builder, has recruited a new Operations Director.

Ryan Ratcliffe previously ran his own contracting business in Leeds and latterly worked for Gleeson Homes.

His appointment comes as Sky-House Co is forming a new HQ for the business at Centenary Works on the River Sheaf, with plans to grow the head office and technical teams to support its expansion.

Work on Sky-House at the Waverley Regeneration site, close to both Rotherham and Sheffield, has continued throughout lockdown with the completion of 44 Sky-Houses, the acclaimed 21st-century take on the traditional back-to-back Victorian house.

Future projects include 40 riverside homes at Oughtibridge Mill and seven homes at Fox Valley, alongside Phase 2 of the Waverley development, where a further 44 Sky-House homes will be built.

The company is also currently in the process of acquiring a site for an additional 57 homes in Sheffield city centre.

The Sky-House Co was founded by architect David Cross and accountant Philip Prince.

“Ryan adds a new dimension to the team to help us grow the business and deliver our pipeline in full control,” said Philip.

“It’s an exciting time for us after a slow and frustrating start but strong sales and new projects are testament to our brand positioning.”

Sky-House Co is funded by Homes England and aims to fill the missing-middle of the housing market by creating sensitively dense, naturally affordable and sustainable homes.
