We enjoy working with Taylor Wimpey and very much look forward to continuing our relationship with the team.”

Taylor added: “We have often worked across the table from Taylor Wimpey on property transactions and we share their team ethos and drive to get deals done. We hope our common approach, coupled with our specialist experience and innovation will benefit Taylor Wimpey as its business continues to develop and grow.”
