It is a business that strongly reflects the values I have held throughout my career, particularly in its commitment to delivering genuine, lasting value for the places and communities it invests in. The projects Vastint is delivering across the UK, from Sugar House Island in East London to Aire Park in Leeds, are genuinely transformative, bringing new life to previously under used sites, through high quality, sustainable development underpinned by its long term ownership model. I am looking forward to getting to know the team and projects in more depth and to helping shape the next phase of Vastint UK’s significant growth.”
