Housing development to create 70 new jobs in Exeter

The creation of new homes in Pinhoe is set to underpin more than 70 jobs.

David Wilson Homes, which is working on its Harts Meadow development in Monkerton, Pinhoe, says the roles will include tradesmen, subcontractors and sales advisors and that most roles will be filled by local people.

It comes as research shows David Wilson Homes, along with its sister company Barratt Homes, supported 1,600 jobs in the region last year.

Sales director Sara Parker said: “This is great news for the local employment market and what’s even better is that the benefits to the economy will be felt even after the development is finished. Past experience shows us that the people who move into new developments tend to spend their wages locally, contributing to the economy even further.”

Launching later this year, Harts Meadow is a new development of three, four and five bedroom homes in Monkerton, within the village of Pinhoe, Exeter.
