Persimmon to launch new developments in Newcastle, Alnwick and Gateshead

Housebuilder Persimmon Homes North East has announced it will be launching new developments across the region, in parts of Newcastle, Alnwick and Gateshead, as part of a national rollout, following a strong first half of 2015.

John Eynon, Deputy Managing Director, said: “Confidence has improved since the General Election in May and in the first half of 2015 our new home legal completions rose by 7% to 6,855.

“In the second half of 2015, we will launch a further 125 new developments across England, Wales and Scotland. Locally, we will be opening new developments in Newcastle, Alnwick and Gateshead.

He added: “It’s not just vital new housing that we are creating. In the last two years, since June 2013, we have seen a 57% growth in our employee numbers from 2578 to 4053, which means the business has employed an extra 61 people every month for the last two years.

“This growth can be seen locally, with our team expanding every month both in the regional head office and across our developments.”

The company’s half year results will be released on 18 August, 2015.
