About Us

Persimmon is a house building company, which has been trading since 1972.

Persimmon continues to perform well in very difficult trading conditions. During 2008 we restructured our business significantly to reflect the most challenging period encountered in the housing market in recent history. Our experienced management team continues to focus on the basic disciplines of keeping costs to a minimum, conserving cash and reacting quickly to the market challenges as they occur.

There are nine members of our Board of Directors, four executive Directors and five non-executive Directors. The Directors bring a wide breadth of experience to directing the strategy of the Group.

Persimmon plc, the UK's leading housebuilder, was established by Life President, Duncan Davidson, in 1972.
