My focus will be on shaping and delivering a robust planning strategy for the business, working closely with local authorities and stakeholders to bring forward high quality, policy-aligned developments. What stands out about Greencore is its clear commitment to delivering better than net zero homes at scale, creating schemes that not only meet planning requirements but set a new benchmark for sustainable placemaking.”
