The opportunity to work with "so many high-quality entrepreneurial
people" proved an irresistible lure for Alec Luhaste, who has recently
joined construction firm Bryant Homes.

Luhaste joins as HR director and will also be a member of the management
committee reporting directly to chief executive Dennis Mac.

In his new role, Luhaste hopes to implement a broad range of HR practices to
help develop the workforce of the housebuilding firm.

"I aim to streamline and modernise HR processes with the emphasis on
individual development plans, powerful succession planning and change
management programmes," he says.

"The thing I like about HR is that it gives you the opportunity to
drive people to focus on the essentials of running a successful business."

Luhaste came from Kellogg’s GB where he was UK & Republic of Ireland HR
director. While there he introduced change management, employee relations
across all European sites, flexible working arrangements and developed an
employee relations strategy.

Luhaste, who is based in Solihull in the West Midlands, has a business
studies degree and describes his hobbies as music, cars and "boy’s
toys".
