Nic Davenport, who began his career as an auditor at Deloitte, joins from Vistry Group, where he was divisional finance director of the west division.

In his new role, he will oversee the financial performance of Dandara’s national housebuilding business, which aims to double its turnover to £1bn by 2031. 

The Milton Keynes-based firm will pursue growth through regional expansion and strategic land acquisitions, as well as growing the partnerships side of the business.  

“Working for Dandara is an honour for me as the company embodies the values I believe a housebuilder should have – a passion for building excellence and customer service, alongside a strong commitment to the communities it serves,” said Davenport. 

“While market conditions are currently challenging for the industry, housebuilding is inherently cyclical. Our focus will be on ensuring we are well-positioned to respond quickly and take advantage of future opportunities when they arise.”
