Persimmon boss to start sooner than expected

Housebuilder Persimmon’s new chief executive Dean Finch is set to step into his new role ahead of expected timings, after his employer National Express allowed him to leave his post early.

Finch’s departure from National Express will take effect on 31 August. He was previously expected to join Persimmon at the end of the year.

The housebuilder said it now expects Finch will be able to take up his post “earlier than originally envisaged” and anticipates confirming his start date shortly.

The update was issued separately to its financial results, which it published yesterday (20 August).
