Bovis to quit North-east to focus on 'predictable' South

摘要

Housebuilder Bovis Homes is to stop working in the North-east, the company's chief executive David Ritchie has told Building. He said the housebuilder would finish developing its current sites in the region over the next five years but that it "would not be buying any land in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and the East Midlands". "We are investing in the corridor between Birmingham and Manchester," he added. Ritchie (pictured) said he would focus on the housebuilder's core market of family homes in the south of England.
