RETIREMENT housebuilding specialist McCarthy & Stone has boosted its Scottish office with two key appointments.

The firm said Jonathan has “considerable experience” in the housebuilding sector having been MD for Central Scotland at Stewart Milne Homes since 2012, and was previously chief executive for Homes for Scotland for almost five years.
He will have responsibility for implementing the group’s growth programme in Scotland, including managing its share of McCarthy & Stone’s £2.5 billion investment in land and build over the four years to 2019 as well as planning, design and sales.
Lorraine Paterson also previously worked at Stewart Milne Homes in Central Scotland, where she had been sales & marketing director since 2014.
Clive Fenton, McCarthy & Stone’s chief executive officer said, “We are delighted to welcome both Jonathan and Lorraine to McCarthy & Stone. Jonathan is one of the industry’s most experienced housebuilders and will help us deliver our strategic objective of doubling in size by 2019 to meet the unprecedented demand for retirement housing in Scotland, while continuing to deliver a Five Star standard of customer service.
