David Lewis added: "With its strong ethos as a challenger brand, This Land™ presents the ideal opportunity for me to build a team and deliver on the company's ambition to carve a unique approach to project development, away from the old volume housebuilder mode and towards a much more design-led offering to our customers, rolled out across England and Wales. This Land's™ determination to establish itself as an industry-leading innovator confirms it is the perfect fit for me."
This Land™ has identified 11 regions across England and South Wales where it plans to establish strategic land teams, to be rolled out steadily over the next few years under David's direction.
