Denbury Homes has brought in Anthony Arnold as head of design and Sam Courtley as head of land as the company looks to grow.
Arnold has joined after 20 years with Hopkins Homes.
He is responsible for house design, development layout and design.
Arnold said: “Denbury Homes is growing and has some bold ambitions for the coming years but it remains a family-run business.
“That means that designing and building homes that make beautiful and lasting contributions to the towns and villages of the region remains our central principle.
“As a designer this commitment is so important to me.”
Arnold added: “Our developments aren’t governed by a rigid structure or predefined set of plot parameters.
“We design by looking at the space available and understanding how a certain combination of homes will look to both residents and passers by.
“Our homes and developments sit naturally within their environment and offer homebuyers the opportunity to find a home that suits them, whatever stage they are at.”
Courtley joined Denbury Homes nearly a year ago.
Since then, he has overseen land purchases in Suffolk and Norfolk, as well as in Essex, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire.
Courtley said: “The quality of the homes we build appeals not only to our buyers but to agents and landowners too.
“Our deep roots in Suffolk and across East Anglia means we have strong personal relationships with owners and understand how passionate local communities are about their towns and villages.
“Having worked at a number of PLCs, the difference in agility and speed of decision making at Denbury gives the company a huge advantage.”
Courtley added: “As a land team we are a small but well-oiled machine with a direct line to the board which means the company can respond to landowners quickly and with a flexibility that just isn’t possible for larger more bureaucratic organisations.”
Lee Barnard, CEO at Denbury Homes, said: “Anthony and Sam are very welcome additions to our team.
“Their leadership of the design and land departments is playing a key role in ensuring we can pursue our growth targets without sacrificing the quality and individuality of the homes and developments.
“As the government works to remove some of the barriers that slow down planning decision making we are well placed to move quickly to keep applications on track.”
