NORTHERN TRUST'S LAND TEAM EXPANDS

11th February 2022

Following a successful end to 2021, Northern Trust’s strategic land team has kick started the New Year by expanding their team.

Edward Campbell has joined the company as Assistant Planner and will be covering planning applications across the UK and commented on his move “It’s a really exciting opportunity for me and everyone has made me feel very welcome.”

Nathan Houghton has also joined the team as Assistant Surveyor and added “I have had a very warm welcome from everyone so far and am very proud to be working for such a great company.”

Northern Trust is one of the most successful and long established land promotion company’s in the Country, with a land bank of over 5,000 acres, and is actively looking for further residential and commercial land opportunities to purchase or promote throughout the UK. 

Director, Mike Grindrod said “The team has performed outstandingly well over the last few years and as we look to continue the growth of the land business the additions of Edward and Nathan will enable a greater focus on securing new opportunities. The team has an exciting pipeline of sites coming forward to feed the high level of demand for consented residential sites from developers as the industry strives to achieve the government’s target of 300,000 new homes a year.”

With current projects, covering over 50 sites and incorporating a mixture of uses there is the potential to deliver more than 10,000 new homes. The team has extensive experience of working with private and public landowners, which has included private individuals / families and organisations.

Northern Trust has the flexibility to consider site acquisitions on an unconditional or conditional basis, joint ventures and promotion agreements for both residential and commercial sites. If you are a landowner and want to maximise the value of your land either on a sale or promotional basis, then please contact a member of the team to discuss.
