Property giant opens new regional office in Derby

National housebuilder Lovell, which is part of Morgan Sindall, has opened a dedicated East Midlands office on Derby’s Pride Park.

Following success in securing opportunities across the region, the firm has cemented its presence with the brand-new office in Riverside Court, which will be home to a dedicated regional team.

Chris Timmins, who is heading up the team as Lovell’s East Midlands area director, said: “Our new Derby office has been a long time in the making and we are thrilled to be able to open it.

“I’m excited to be building on the success that we have seen in creating high-quality housing provision across the East Midlands over the past 18 months.

“We recognise the need for long-term partnerships in the region, in collaboration with local authorities and organisations to ensure housing demands are met.

“With the opening of this office, we are demonstrating our commitment to the area and in creating the all-important long-lasting relationships that will make a meaningful impact to the communities in which we work, as opposed to being a hands-off developer.”

The new East Midlands team is strengthened further under the leadership of regional managing director, Stuart Penn.

Chris will also be supported by regional partnership director Simon Wingate, Beth Bundonis, commercial manager, Tim Mansell, operation manager, Gareth Bevan, pre-contract manager and Lewis Charity, technical manager.

Chris said: “We are proud to have built such a strong team to provide our services at the new regional office.

“We are the only developer in the country to offer full spectrum housing capabilities, from refurbishment projects through to multi-tenure, partnership schemes, which is why it was essential to create a team that can deliver this full scope to the East Midlands.

“Looking to the future, we’re energised by the current and potential opportunities available.

“We are confident in our capabilities to make a real impact, working alongside the right regional and national companies to support the East Midlands in achieving its housing goals.”
