Russell Gurnhill
Chief Executive Officer

On Thursday 6th November, we hosted our Annual Reception at the stunning Tower of London, bringing together the fantastic group of industry professionals who have assisted the Group over the years.
CEO Russell Gurnhill shared some of the Group’s highlights during 2025 which have included:
The acquisition of Dunton Hills – 551 acres of strategic land in Essex for Lands Improvement to commence their next master developer role for this impressive development of 3,700 homes and associated infrastructure, with a GDV in excess of £480m.
The Lands Improvement team selling consented serviced land enabling the building of 1,650 new homes across a range of tenures to seven housebuilders.
Receiving planning permission on the former Ravenscourt Park Hospital in Hammersmith to create 140 new homes, a 65-bed care home and community use spaces.
The evening was well received by guests with highlights including a private viewing of the Crown Jewels conducted by a Yeoman Warder, and experiencing the 700-year-old tradition of the Ceremony of the Keys – being locked in (and luckily released) from the Tower of London.
Thank you to all that attended.
