Vistry Group chief executive Greg Fitzgerald said: “The group has delivered a strong half-year performance with Vistry’s Partnerships model significantly outperforming the traditional house-building market.

"The group’s growth strategy and greater delivery of affordable housing is well-aligned to the new government’s ambitions to address the country’s housing crisis, and uniquely positions Vistry to play a key role in delivering the government’s new housing targets."  

This announcement comes after Vistry Group broke ground on the Lotmead site, a new village project featuring up to 2,500 homes in Swindon, UK, last month.
