We look forward to sharing our can-do culture with local authorities, registered providers and other organisations, working in partnership to help them to meet and exceed their housing priorities."

Commenting on his new role, Matthew said: "It's a pleasure to be joining at the inception of McLaren Living, working with McLaren Group's leadership team to establish this new business. We will be delivering developments for the public sector along with homes for rent and sale; working in true partnerships to develop places that make a positive difference to people's lives.
