Andy Hill, Hill’s CEO, comments:
“Over the last 20 years, we have built an enviable track record in successfully creating large-scale residential-led developments, across both regeneration and greenfield sites.
“We’re very pleased to welcome Matt to the growing team as we look to expand our activity within this market and realise our ambitions for future growth. Not only does he bring a vast wealth of experience in his specialisation and across the sector, but he will also provide the drive, ambition and determination we need to deliver more developments and succeed in achieving our goals.”
