Vistry Group has appointed the former managing director of Telford Homes as its interim managing director for its south London region. John Fitzgerald, who worked at Telford for almost 20 years, will oversee a portfolio of mixed-tenure schemes being delivered in collaboration with Vistry?s local authority and housing association partners. The housebuilders' south London region, which operates through the Countryside Partnerships brand, is currently working on nine projects which deliver more than 3,000 homes.

Fitzgerald will carry out his interim role until at least January 2025, when a permanent managing director for the region will be appointed. Prior to Telford Homes, Fitzgerald was a contracts manager at Furlong Homes and a site manager at Willmott Dixon.
