UK housebuilder Weston Homes has appointed Peter Gore as group operations director, to help support business operations during what the firm describes as 'a period of rapid growth'.
Experienced in both the London and Essex markets, Gore joins Weston from Taylor Wimpey London where he worked for the past three years as managing director.
Gore previously worked in senior delivery and construction director roles at Barratt Homes and Mount Anvil on projects ranging from traditional housing through to complex multi-storey projects.
Working closely with Bob Weston, chairman and managing director, Gore will help with ensuring product delivery and quality, staff team building and development, health and safety and customer satisfaction.
Said Weston: 'Peter Gore brings with him a wealth of construction, team development and customer satisfaction experience which will be instrumental as Weston Homes undertakes the delivery of our sizable portfolio of developments, as we work to meet the rising demand for housing in London and the South East.'
Over the last five years Weston Homes has purchased land sites that will deliver £2.13 bn (€2.5 bn) worth of residential and mixed use development across outer London and the South East. This includes 20 current active sites and over 7,500 new homes in the pipeline, including traditional housing and large scale urban regeneration projects.
Projects include the £350 mln Abbey Quays urban village in Barking, the £60 mln Grade II listed Cambridge Military Hospital in Aldershot, the £0.5 bln Lorimer Village in Goodmayes, the £50 mln Town Quay Wharf in Barking, the £53 mln Victoria Central in Southend-on-Sea and the £85 mln The Laundry Works in Watford.
Said Gore: 'I am delighted to be joining the group at an exciting time of major growth and expansion. The business has a highly diverse range of developments, including a series of major landmark schemes commencing and many others in the pipeline.'
