A house designer who spent 20 years with a major East Anglian housebuilder has joined its sister company ahead of the new year.
Anthony Arnold, who previously worked as a Senior Designer at Hopkins Homes, has joined Denbury Homes – also part of the Hopkins Group – as Head of Design.
His role will see him not just oversee house designs, but lead on the overall layout of Denbury developments across the region.
He said: “Denbury Homes is growing and has some bold ambitions for the coming years but it remains a family-run business.
“That means that designing and building homes that make beautiful and lasting contributions to the towns and villages of the region remains our central principle.
“As a designer this commitment is so important to me.
“Our developments aren’t governed by a rigid structure or predefined set of plot parameters. We design by looking at the space available and understanding how a certain combination of homes will look to both residents and passers by.
“Our homes and developments sit naturally within their environment and offer homebuyers the opportunity to find a home that suits them, whatever stage they are at.”
Anthony’s appointment comes as the firm celebrates the first anniversary of another head of department, Head of Land Sam Courtley.
Lee Barnard, CEO of Denbury Homes, said: “Anthony and Sam are very welcome additions to our team.
“Their leadership of the design and land departments is playing a key role in ensuring we can pursue our growth targets without sacrificing the quality and individuality of the homes and developments.
“As the government works to remove some of the barriers that slow down planning decision making we are well placed to move quickly to keep applications on track.”
