Vistry Group has appointed Rob Woodward as its new chair.

Woodward, who has been a board member at the £4bn-turnover housebuilder since 2024, will step up into the chair role on 13 May.

He will succeed Greg Fitzgerald, who announced earlier this month he is stepping down as both chair and chief executive of Vistry. He will serve as chief executive for a further 12 months or until a successor is appointed.
