One of Britain’s largest housebuilders has appointed the new managing director of its Wessex business.

Seb Spiller takes on the mantle having served as deputy at Persimmon Homes Wessex for the last year and working for the five-star builder for a decade.

Persimmon Wessex covers Swindon, Wiltshire western Oxfordshire, and parts of Somerset, with live and forthcoming sites in Swindon and elsewhere in Wiltshire.

Prior to taking on his new role, Seb was Technical Director at the business, having originally joined as an engineer before taking on subsequent positions of Engineering Manager and Head of Technical. 

Before joining Persimmon, Seb spent over 10 years at WYG (now Tetratech) as a civil engineer.

He said: “I am delighted to be taking on this role at such an exciting time for Persimmon Homes Wessex – we have exciting, major projects underway and I look forward to overseeing it all.

"I am proud of our business’ positive and enduring legacy in the communities we develop, offering high-quality, affordable housing, exceptional amenities, and incorporating ambitious sustainability features into our projects."

“We have a great team in Wessex and I look forward to continuing our good work in delivering much-needed new homes across the region.”

Persimmon Homes’ Chair for the South West division, Julian Roper, said: "Seb's journey from engineer to Managing Director at Persimmon Homes Wessex exemplifies his dedication, expertise, and the company's commitment to investing in its people.

“His promotion underscores his invaluable contributions, which will be instrumental in driving forward our vision, overseeing our key projects across the region.

“I wish Seb all the best on assuming this important new role – one I was fortunate enough to hold myself in the past – and look forward to working with him in delivering for our business, customers, and communities for years to come."
