Sir Michael Lyons was chairman of the BBC Trust from 2007 to 2011 after retiring from a career as a local government officer. He also recently chaired the Lyons Housing Review, commission by the Labour party to suggest ways to get more housing built.
Redrow chairman Steve Morgan said: "I am delighted to welcome Sir Michael to the board.聽 His extensive knowledge and understanding of the housebuilding sector and large scale sustainable regeneration will be extremely useful for the business, as will his many years of experience in local government, running some of the country's largest local authorities."
