The family history of Llanmoor Homes

Llanmoor’s first development was a small group of bungalows in Brynna in Rhondda Cynon Taff . The development proved a success which enabled Brian to approach other landowners to ask whether they would like to enter an agreement for the Company to promote their land for new housing development. This quickly resulted in several large sites in Brynna, Llantwit Fardre and Hengoed, each of which brought over 150 new homes to areas that had been largely neglected in terms of new development at the time.

The business flourished, establishing itself in a relatively short time as a real contender in the South Wales new housing market, and Brian subsequently invited his sons to become involved in the running of the business.

There was never an expectation by Brian that his sons would automatically join the family business, and each of the three sons gained experience elsewhere prior to even being considering for a chance to join Llanmoor.

Both Simon and Tim came from a banking background, working for Barclays Bank before starting work at Llanmoor. Brian played a huge part in their training in the early years, both having spent a good year or two working closely with him and learning about the many aspects of the business. By the time Tim started work for the Company, Simon had already taken over running various aspects of the business on the financial and land acquisition side and subsequently took over the role of Managing Director a role that he continues to perform to this day . Once Tim had finished learning the ropes, he took on the role of Sales & Marketing Director and subsequently also HR Director, managing all aspects relating to Llanmoor’s highly regarded employees. Both Simon and Tim have worked together for over 30 years.

Younger brother Matthew initially worked with two very well respected Estate Agent and Valuers and had his introduction to the house building industry with a large national home builder before joining his brothers at Llanmoor. He now works as the Construction & Technical Director, to ensure that the homes that the Company build are constructed to the required NHBC and Planning & Local Authority Building Regulation technical standards, as well as ensuring that every home is finished to the Company’s exceptionally high standard.
