The developer announced the appointment today and said that Mr Montague was the “immediate and obvious choice for the role”.

L&Q announced last month that Fiona Fletcher-Smith would be replacing Mr Montague with immediate effect.

Joseph Homes began in 2008 by founder and chief executive Joseph Rajah. In 2019, it had a turnover of £1.7m and posted a pre-tax loss of £1.4m.

Other developments in the pipeline include 130 homes at One Vinyl Square in Hillingdon, west London, and 130 homes on Parkhouse Street in Camberwell, south London.

Mr Montague said: “Joseph Homes has already accomplished a great deal towards their mission.

“They have set out a strategy that starts with ambition and recognises that people want more from their homes than they are perhaps used to. Over the past 33 years at L&Q I created something as part of a team, which made a lasting and significant impact on where I live.

“The reason I committed so much time to L&Q is because I believed in their mission, and that’s exactly why I decided to join Joseph Homes.

“The mission they’re working towards is both honourable and ambitious and I want to help Joseph Homes make an impact nationally, in both the private and public sectors. At the end of the day we have a responsibility to look after the planet and leave the next generation a better world than the one we have today. What an extraordinary legacy that would be to leave behind.”
