A housebuilder from Gloucestershire has merged with another business to create one of the UK’s largest housing associations.
The deal is said to mark a “significant milestone” in the group’s long-term strategy to deliver more genuinely affordable homes, and continuing to invest in, or regenerate, existing homes and services.
The merger brings together the joint forces of Tewkesbury-headquartered Bromford Flagship and Exeter-based LiveWest.
Robert Nettleton (pictured above), former group chief executive officer of Bromford Flagship, will become chief executive of Bromford Flagship LiveWest (BFL), with Jac Starr, former chairman of LiveWest, becoming group chairman of BFL.
