“My focus will be on establishing a robust pipeline of land opportunities that supports the company’s long-term ambitions while helping maintain the high standards of quality and customer service that Newett Homes is known for.”
He will also be focused on strengthening relationships across the industry and developing a land function that can support the continued growth of the business.
