Linden Homes has strengthened its senior team by selecting Andrew Tildesley as its Strategic Land Managing Director (MD).

The appointment is part of the company's plans to increase its investment in strategic land and double its current portfolio of sites over the next three years.

In his new role, Mr Tidlesley will lead a time of six regional strategic land managers who specialise in identifying and promoting land with longer term future housing potential.


Mr Tidlesley said: "Strategic land is moving up a gear for Linden Homes. Currently less than 10 per cent of annual completions come from strategic land sites which identifies a huge opportunity to add value to the business by delivering more strategic projects.

"We are looking for suitable land opportunities across all regions although currently we have a particular focus on sourcing more land opportunities for our Midlands and South East business units."

Ian Hessay, Linden Homes' Divisional MD, added: "Andrew joins at a key stage of Linden Homes' future plans within the land division. We currently have some major projects underway so growing the team will only help increase our portfolio of future projects. We are focussed on the strategic land arm of our business over the next three years so it will be interesting to watch some great opportunities unfold with Andrew at the reigns."
