London developer hires chief financial officer of Telford Homes

She has more than 20 years’ experience, including 15 years in the development sector securing debt funding, raising equity and developing homes.

Mount Anvil has a £50m investment from the mayor of London to support the development of 1,400 new homes by the end of March 2025, with at least 50% being affordable and run by London housing associations.

Ms Rogers said: “Mount Anvil has a clear vision for growing its contribution to London and its impact in the communities that welcome them. They’ve got an unusual culture that drives results, and I’m excited to join a leadership team that I respect as amongst the best in the business as we partner with local authorities, housing associations and our trusted banking providers to deliver much-needed quality housing in London.”

The developer has a pipeline of 4,000 homes in London, focused on regeneration partnerships with local authorities and housing associations. Schemes that are currently under way include the Barnsbury Estate in Islington and Friary Park in Ealing.

Darragh Hurley, managing director at Mount Anvil, said: “Katie’s arrival is great news for the partners for whom we’re focused on delivering. This year we’re bucking the trend in London – we’re able to keep on building in six boroughs because we’ve secured planning and funding and are committed to doing what we said we’re going to do.”
