Willmott Dixon has launched Willmott Dixon Developments, a dedicated national business focused on regeneration, residential, student accommodation and public-private partnership (PPP) schemes.

Willmott Dixon Developments brings together the group’s existing development, investment and regeneration capability, built up over nearly ten years, under a single national platform. It is led by David Atkinson, Director of Development and Investment, and Chris Wheeler, National Head of Land and Development, supported by regional development teams across England and Wales.

The business has set out to scale activity across four areas where it has an established track record, including, regeneration and development management, residential and direct investment, student accommodation (PBSA), and PPP and strategic partnerships.

Graham Dundas, Chief Executive Officer at Willmott Dixon, said, “Willmott Dixon Developments is an important next step for our group and creates a clear national platform for the development, investment and regeneration work we have been doing successfully for nearly a decade. Over that period our specialists have developed a track record for unlocking complex sites, turning early-stage ambition into viable, fundable and deliverable schemes.”

David Atkinson, Director of Development and Investment at Willmott Dixon Developments, said, “We exist to solve the problem we hear most often from council and university partners: how to move stalled or complex sites from ambition to delivery. Our role is to act as a single, accountable partner that can shape the scheme, structure the funding, share risk where appropriate, and bring the certainty that comes with knowing how a project will be built.”
