The developer behind the forthcoming Ger y Môr site in Saundersfoot has found its site manager.

Tom Dennis has taken charge of the Persimmon Homes scheme that will see 72 high-quality, new homes delivered in the village, which will go on sale later this year.

The homes – 35 per cent of which will be transferred to Pembrokeshire Council – will be zero-carbon ready while the site will see a playground placed at its heart and financial contributions made for local facilities.

Tom has been working in construction across South Wales since leaving school 20 years ago and has been in the housebuilding industry for the last 12, with stints at Jehu Group, Jones Brothers Henllan Ltd, and Persimmon itself.

Alongside the degree in project and construction management he earned while working part-time, Tom can boast of an NHBC Pride in the Job award he won in 2021 and two Quality Recognition Awards he secured last year from Premier Guarantee.

Commenting on his appointment, Tom Dennis said:

“I am pleased to be back working for Persimmon, taking charge on an exciting site that will provide high-quality homes for local people.

“I really enjoy seeing the customers move in and playing a part in building their family homes.

“It will be especially heartening to do this in Saundersfoot as I have always lived in the area and would love to see local families moving in as we help make it possible for them to stay here.”

Managing Director Stuart Philipps added:

“We’re delighted to have Tom at the helm at Ger y Môr, a development we look forward to breaking ground on very soon.

“Tom has two decades of experience and award-winning work to bring to the table, so I have complete confidence that he’ll do a terrific job there alongside a talented team.”
