Speaking of her new appointment, Ashley said: “I’m delighted to be joining Lovell and am really looking forward to being part of the business at such an exciting time. The current market presents a wealth of growth opportunities and I am eager to support the business to expand its delivery of innovative regeneration and residential projects.”
Steve Coleby, Managing Director, Lovell said: “We are thrilled to have Ashley on board. As our business continues to evolve, we have recognised the business’ need for a central expert and experienced land professional to oversee our strategic acquisitions from a national point of view and to support our planning objectives.
Ashley is the ideal candidate for the role. She has a wealth of experience when it comes to the delivery of large, mixed use, regeneration schemes and traditional housing developments and has the complex skills required to ensure we can continue to deliver quality partnership and open housing developments.
