BISWIRE/Sept. 21, 2026  — The Allied Group – Renovation Experts is pleased to announce the promotion of Ken Phillips to Vice President of Business Development & Growth Strategy, recognizing his decade of contributions to the company and expanding his leadership role in Allied’s national growth strategy.

 Phillips joined Allied in September 2016 and, over the past 10 years, has played a key role in expanding the company’s national presence, developing strategic client relationships and strengthening Allied’s position within the hospitality renovation industry.

During his tenure, Phillips has helped deepen relationships with hotel owners, operators, managementcompanies and industry partners while supporting Allied’s expansion into complementary markets including restaurants and food and beverage, senior living, student living and private clubs.

In his new role, Phillips will lead Allied’s national business development and growth strategy, focusing on strategic client relationships, emerging opportunities, new market development and aligning business development initiatives with the company’s long-term objectives.

 “Ken has been an important part of Allied’s growth for the past decade, and this promotion recognizes both what he has accomplished and the leadership role we expect him to play in our future,” said Robert Smith, CEO and Chief Satisfaction Officer of The Allied Group.

 “Our growth strategy is about identifying the right opportunities with the right clients and partners. Ken understands our business, our culture and the industries we serve, and he has developed relationships across the country that are extremely important to Allied. I’m excited to have him take on this expanded role as we continue to build the next generation of our company.”

 Phillips will work closely with Allied’s executive leadership, business development and preconstruction teams to connect market intelligence, client relationships and opportunity development with the company’s national capabilities.

 “Hospitality will remain at the core of who we are,” Smith added. “At the same time, we see significant opportunity to apply our experience renovating complex, occupied and operational properties to senior living, restaurants, private clubs, student living and other hospitality-centric environments. Ken will be instrumental in helping us develop those opportunities while continuing to strengthen the relationships that have built Allied.”
