Tulloch Homes names new land director

Highland housebuilder Tulloch Homes has promoted David Jewell to land and planning director as it looks to grow its presence across the region.

David, who joined parent company Springfield Group in 2014, takes over following the retirement of long-standing director Scott Strachan. 

With over 25 years’ experience, David has played a key role in delivering major developments in Dundee and Perth and will now focus on securing new opportunities in the Highlands.

Hi appointment comes as The Highland Council targets 24,000 new homes over the next decade to meet rising demand.

David said: “It is an especially exciting time for the Highlands. 

“We have already seen billions of pounds of investment secured for green infrastructure improvements like the Inverness and Cromarty Firth Green Freeport and SSEN upgrades to the electricity network, which will see the creation of thousands of jobs.

“I have been immediately impressed by the proactiveness of the Highland Council and admire the actions they are taking to meet the housing challenge in their area. 

“The Springfield Group as a whole has submitted around 8,500 homes as part of the call for sites and we are looking forward to the Council’s feedback.”

Innes Smith, chief executive for the Springfield Group, added: “David’s promotion will seamlessly enhance our land and planning offering within Tulloch, as well as continuing to lead on planning for Springfield’s villages in Dundee and Perth. 

“He is ideally placed for this role and his expertise will be instrumental to our business strategy.

“We’re extremely grateful for all the work Scott has achieved with Tulloch over the last 26 years and wish him the very best for the future.”
