Telford Homes’ former group managing director John Fitzgerald has been appointed interim managing director for Vistry Group’s South London region.
Fitzgerald, who will assume the role on 8 April, will head up the company’s Stratford-based operations and will oversee a sizeable portfolio of mixed-tenure schemes being delivered in collaboration with Vistry’s local authority and housing association partners.
He will carry out the interim role until at least January 2025, when a permanent managing director for the region will be announced.
Mike Woolliscroft, group business improvement director and London division chair at 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.”
Fitzgerald added: “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.”
