Registered Master Builders Appoints new Chief Executive
The Boards of the Registered Master Builders Association (RMBA) and Master Build Services Ltd (MBS) are pleased to
announce the appointment of David Kelly as their new Chief Executive.
RMBA Chairman Anthony Leighs said that he’s thrilled that the organisations have secured such a high calibre leader in
David particularly with his exceptional level of understanding of the construction industry.
“We are really excited about David’s appointment. The depth of industry experience he will bring to enhance the delivery
of services to our members and the wider industry is second to none,” says Mr Leighs
“RMBA is at a milestone time in its history and we recognise that David’s strong leadership qualities, industry
knowledge along with valuable networks and relationships, will strengthen Registered Master Builders industry leadership
position.”
David has spent the last seven years with the Ministry of Business Employment and Innovation (MBIE formerly DBH) as its
Director Canterbury Recovery Programme and, prior to this, the Deputy Chief Executive Building Quality. Both of these
roles have included developing and establishing programmes of work vital to the industry and requiring large degrees of
sector engagement for successful delivery. His previous experience is in Local Government.
“I am excited and privileged to be taking up the role of Chief Executive with Registered Master Builders and Master
Build Services,” David says.
“Registered Master Builders have a long and proud history supporting the construction industry. We have worked closely
over a number of years on key issues and opportunities for the sector and I have always found them to be thoroughly
professional and forward looking.”
“I look forward to building on the strong foundations that are already in place to support the members in continuing to
provide excellent services to their clients, and to promote a professional and productive construction sector.”
David will start his role at RMBA in early November.
