John Fitzgerald, Group Managing Director of Telford Homes for almost 20 years, has selected a role at Vistry Group for his return to the housebuilding sector. John joins Vistry Group on 8th April as the Interim MD for its South London region.
John will be heading up the company’s Stratford-based operations where he will be overseeing a sizeable portfolio of mixed-tenure schemes being delivered in collaboration with Vistry’s long-established local authority and housing association partners. Vistry’s South London region (which typically operates through the Countryside Partnerships brand) is currently working on nine live projects, which will together deliver over 3,000 homes .
As Group Managing Director for London developer Telford Homes for almost 20 years, John is bringing a wealth of valuable experience to his new role, having overseen a substantial number of large-scale regeneration projects delivered with public sector partners. John will carry out his interim role until at least January 2025, when a permanent MD for the region will be announced.
Mike Woolliscroft, Group Business Improvement Director and London Division Chair, Countryside Partnerships said:
“We are thrilled John is joining the Vistry business. His passion for quality, transformative regeneration projects and effective long-term partnerships aligns directly with our, and his experience puts him in a strong position to continue to increase the supply of much-needed homes for London.”
John Fitzgerald, Interim Managing Director, London South, said: “The opportunity to head up Vistry’s South London region was too good to miss and I am delighted to be returning to the housebuilding sector to lead a business unit with such an impressive partnerships portfolio at a time when the London market is on the up. I am keen to hit the ground running and continue Vistry’s track record of delivering much-needed affordable homes for the communities of South London.”
