Countryside Partnerships, the provider of mixed-tenure housing, has welcomed Lee Parry as Managing Director for the North East Midlands.
Lee joins Countryside Partnerships from Keepmoat Homes where he worked as Construction Operations Director, before becoming Interim Managing Director.
In his new role he aims to unlock and maximise both complex brownfield sites and appropriate greenfield sites, working in partnership with local authorities, housing associations and private rented institutional investors to bring much-needed multi-tenure new housing to the region.
The North East Midlands business has ambitious site acquisition targets for 2024, with a minimum target of securing at least six new sites with or without detailed planning permission in place. These sites will be located within Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and North Derbyshire.
Adam Daniels, Divisional Managing Director, Countryside Partnerships Midlands, said: “I am delighted to welcome Lee Parry to head up our North East Midlands team. He brings a wealth of experience and a clear vision to tackle the region’s need for high quality homes across a range of tenures. I look forward to working with him to further develop our partnership building division across the North East Midlands.”
Lee Parry, Managing Director, North East Midlands, Countryside Partnerships, said: “I’m extremely proud to be taking the reins for North East Midlands. It’s a privilege to be working with such a great team and I look forward to continuing to grow the business. My focus is firmly on addressing the region’s chronic shortage of affordable mixed-tenure housing.”
