The North Wales-based contractor has appointed John Grime, formerly managing director at Redrow Homes North-west, to lead Anwyl Homes’ expansion into Lancashire. Anwyl is aiming for the new business to hit a turnover of target of £75m within three to five years, and hopes the division will be completing over 300 homes a year in the same timescale. Mr Grime, who has 25 years’ experience in the industry, has started his new role immediately and the firm has already identified a number of land opportunities, with its first new housing developments set to open within the next 12 months. Anwyl currently builds around 350 homes a year through its central housing division, which is based out of its head office in Ewloe, Flintshire. The Lancashire housing arm is the second new division the firm has launched in the last six months, having also launched its Anwyl Land business in November last year to help the company identify sites for development. Commenting, Mr Grime said: “I’m delighted to have joined Anwyl Homes at this exciting time and am very much looking forward to developing the business and the team in the Lancashire region. “We’re already actively looking at potential sites for development in many areas of the North West and Lancashire, and intend to commence works on three sites out of the Lancashire region in the next financial year.” Mathew Anwyl, housing managing director at Anwyl Homes, added: ”With the launch of Anwyl Homes Lancashire, we aim to further grow the Anwyl brand and take our award winning high quality new build homes to a much wider audience that we have been able to previously. “There is increased demand for new housing from many different areas across the North West and Cheshire and we can help address this shortage with our quality new build homes.” Anwyl’s development arm is currently pushing forward with a major PRS scheme in Liverpool. The £60m scheme was approved last month, and will provide 366 privately-rented apartments in the city centre.
