Our team combines thoughtful design with expert craftsmanship to create beautifully functional homes.
Allan Gray
Director
Before anything else — I’m a husband to Jennifer, and a dad to Georgia and Ella.
That’s what keeps me grounded, and it’s where I’ve learned the most about responsibility, patience, and being present.
The early mornings, the walks, the time spent together before the day begins — that’s the best part of my life, and it shapes how I approach everything else.
Professionally, I’ve spent over 25 years in property development and refurbishment.
Over that time, I’ve developed a strong eye for design and a solution-based approach to building — but more importantly, I’ve learned that the work isn’t just about delivering a finished product.
It’s about how you get there.
Clear thinking.
Honest conversations.
Doing the right thing when no one is watching.
I care about the detail.
I care about the experience for the client.
And I care about building something that stands the test of time.
At Twelve Weeks, we’re building more than projects.
We’re building something we’re proud to put our name to.
Gary Milne MICE
Growth & Strategy
The difference between a house and a home worth loving is not made on site. It is made long before — in the land found, the concept shaped, and the right people assembled around both.
That is Gary’s work. After twenty-four years as a director with one of the UK’s largest privately owned homebuilders — across land acquisition, engineering, and architecture — he understands something the industry rarely teaches: most of a project’s outcome is decided in the pre-construction phase. In the concept. In the design rigour. In who is brought to the table, and how early.
At Twelve Weeks, Gary applies that knowledge at the point where it matters most. He finds the sites others have passed over. He builds the commercial and design case from the ground up. And he assembles the collaborators who will treat the project with the same conviction he does. For Gary, collaboration is not a professional courtesy — it is where the best work starts.
For clients, that means a partner who has lived every stage of development from concept to delivery. Someone whose instinct is to resolve problems early, in design, before they become costs on site. For Twelve Weeks, it means someone whose experience and relationships open doors a younger, leaner company could not open alone.
Chartered Civil Engineer. Homes professional. Collaborative first.
A quieter kind of ambition — with a long track record behind it.
Verity McGown
Business Manager
In a business with big personalities and constant movement, my role is to bring structure, clarity, and a bit of calm to the day-to-day.
I’m the one making sure Allan, Gary and Paul stay on track. Keeping things organised. Keeping things moving. And, more often than not, keeping everyone in line.
Professionally, I oversee the running of the business and everything that comes with it. From internal coordination to communication, I make sure the details are handled and nothing slips through the cracks.
But my role goes beyond operations. I lead all things marketing for Twelve Weeks shaping how we present ourselves, how we communicate, and how our work is seen. From content to brand direction, I make sure what people see reflects the standard of what we deliver.
I believe the strength of a business is in how it operates behind the scenes. Clear communication. Consistency. Attention to detail.
At Twelve Weeks, I make sure everything connects — the people, the projects, and the brand. Because when that works, everything else falls into place.
Paul Glancy
Project Manager
For Paul, the craft came first — a time-served Carpenter Joiner with a background in furniture production and antique restoration that taught him something most site managers never fully learn: what quality actually looks and feels like when it’s done properly.
From that foundation, Paul moved quickly into management — and across fourteen years, from Taylor Wimpey and Bellway through to Ogilvie Homes and A.C. Whyte, he has worked across volume housebuilding, commercial projects, and everything in between. He has built the basic and the bespoke. He knows the difference.
On site, he is the calm in the room. Clear-headed under pressure, quick to find a resolution, and genuinely invested in the people around him. He leads teams the way he learned the trade — directly, with trust, and to a standard he would be happy to put his name to.
Off site, he is a father to Ava and Lucas, engaged to Rebecca, and a football coach for his son’s team. A product of the East Coast of Scotland, shaped by construction culture and everything it teaches about honesty, perspective, and getting on with it.
At Twelve Weeks, Paul is the point where conviction meets delivery.
