New business will be led by housing association’s London managing director Vicky Savage

L&Q's offices

L&Q has created a new sales and development arm for London, bringing the housing association’s activities in the capital together into two divisions.

The group’s London development operations had previously been split into counties and north, east and south London regions, but will now be divided between north and south.

The new business will be headed by L&Q’s London managing director Vicky Savage, with backing from two new regional development directors, Jacqueline Esimaje-Heath (north London) and Neil Davis (south London).

L&Q said it had a pipeline of 12,500 approved homes in the capital, including schemes at Barking Riverside in east London and Beam Park in neighbouring Rainham.

According to L&Q the new structure “will provide clear points of contact for its partners, from the GLA to local authorities and housebuilders”.

Savage said: “London and the south east have always been L&Q’s heartlands, and we are committed to the capital whilst expanding to new areas around the country.”

L&Q has set itself the goal of building 100,000 new homes across the country in the next 10 years.
