Regeneration company Urban Splash<\/a> has appointed David Warburton as land director to focus on acquisitions in the South West of England and neighbouring areas<\/h2>\n

David Warburton has moved to the business from Homes England<\/a>, having spent the last two years on secondment at the West Midlands Combined Authority.<\/p>\n

He joins the newly formed land team, established by director Katie Dean to support Urban Splash\u2019s aggressive land acquisition<\/a> strategy which has seen the company take on more than 20 new sites in recent years.<\/p>\n

An associate of RICS, David Warburton qualified as a chartered town planner via Lovell Partnership Homes graduate programme, before helping the company deliver complex housing and regeneration schemes throughout the Midlands region.<\/p>\n

Warburton subsequently worked across the UK as director of development and regeneration for The Prince\u2019s Foundation, and held roles with English Partnerships, and ultimately Homes England.<\/p>\n

Pursuit of land<\/h3>\n

He said: \u201cI am thrilled to join Urban Splash at this exciting times, helping the team continue its pursuit of land and new opportunities across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe track record of the business mean that we\u2019re poised to take on diverse new sites<\/a>, with green credentials and maximise the potential of our innovative products such as the\u00a0House by Urban Splash\u00a0<\/em>homes; all of which contribute to brilliantly designed, sustainable communities. I am truly excited at the prospect of delivering these developments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Urban Splash director Nathan Cornish, added: \u201cDavid brings so much expertise to our business and joins the brilliant team that Katie has curated over the past year, helping us to secure new sites in Warrington and Windermere.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur diverse team is rich in people with extensive knowledge, including professionals like David who can help us deliver big things in the coming years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Warburton is an active supporter and member of the Urban Land Institute<\/a>, and volunteers as a mentor to young leaders in real estate.<\/p>\n

Urban Splash has hired 27 new colleagues since January across a range of departments.<\/p>\n
