Hertfordshire-based developer Griggs Homes has appointed two new land directors.
Matt Green (pictured left) was previously a chartered surveyor at Lambert Smith Hampton and Ollie Myrants-Wilson (right), who joins Griggs as land and planning director, spent the last three years as a land director on the board at Troy Homes. Prior to that he worked at housebuilder Linden Homes for 12 years.
Green said: “Griggs is a very strong company locally, with an unrivalled reputation within Hertsmere and the surrounding areas for delivering complex planning permissions and premium homes. We have the opportunity to take the group from being strong locally to expanding both in terms of the geographical area and the size of projects.
“Griggs is not only known for the quality of its product but also its drive and creativity. We want to take these qualities and apply them to larger projects including urban sites and investment properties with long term redevelopment potential for a variety of end uses.”
Myrants-Wilson added: “Griggs is a growing business and very entrepreneurial, so we are looking at taking more planning risk, and buying and promoting sites without planning permission. It’s a challenge – but with greater risk comes greater reward.
“There is an opportunity in the land market to go about things differently and we want to be a trusted and dynamic partner for landowners, other developers, local authorities and key stakeholders. We have an expert team with an established track record in delivery and we want to bring a positive and refreshing approach to development.”
