Housebuilder Burrington Estates has appointed a new group managing director following the decision of the original founders to step down. David Jervis will take the helm of the Exeter-based company as Mark Edworthy and Paul Scantlebury step away from the day-to-day running of the business.
Mr Jervis joined Burrington Estates three years ago to lead the launch of the company’s new Central England division - and will now take operational control of the whole housing business. He will continue to head up the Central division and also work with Grayham Tucker, managing director for the South West.
Before joining the company, Mr Jervis set up Spitfire Bespoke Homes as the residential development arm of IM Properties. He founded Spitfire in 2010 and within seven years had built it into a £100m turnover business, according to Burrington Estates.
