David Lewis added: "With its strong ethos as a challenger brand, This Land™ presents the ideal opportunity for me to build a team and deliver on the company's ambition to carve a unique approach to project development, away from the old volume housebuilder mode and towards a much more design-led offering to our customers, rolled out across England and Wales. This Land's™ determination to establish itself as an industry-leading innovator confirms it is the perfect fit for me."
