Key board members have been moved across into LNT Care Developments' team due to an increase in the number of customers over the past two years.
Christine Cooper, currently MD of LNT Construction, will move across to be Project Director for LNT Care Developments.
She will work alongside Nick Broadbent and Andrew Long to take a 'more strategic' approach to the development pipeline.
LNT Chief Executive Matt Lowe said: "LNT took the strategic decision to sell more of our pipeline to third-party providers, introducing our turn-of-key plus scheme last year. This has been an unmitigated success for us. In the last couple of years, despite the view of the industry, we've only actually built two homes for Ideal Carehomes with the majority sold to third parties.

Having already doubled the size of our site-finding team, with plans to add further members, our confidence in our turn of key care facilities has paid off. Continuing the trend from last year, we have third-party providers lined up to buy all our current sites."
Christine Cooper, in-coming Project Director for LNT Care Developments, added: "We've now moved into the assisted living development market and are working with more partners than ever.
"Whilst we have always looked after clients to a high standard, the needs of construction and development are distinct, so by establishing a dedicated client-relations team we will be better able to cultivate our offering to meet the needs of the market."
LNT currently has six sites under construction nationwide with a further three due to commence within the next month and another ten sites secured.
