He said: “The last 12 months have been excellent for the business.

“The results are a total team effort and we were delighted to deliver hundreds of vital new homes across the region.

“New developments were opened at Hampton and Stanground in Peterborough, also Waterbeach and Terrington St Clement and we are set to be even busier with new sites planned to launch in Hinchingbrooke, Cottenham and Peterborough.

“None of this would be possible without our professional and dedicated team and, as we aim to grow the business further in 2018, we look forward to welcoming more people into the company.
