Vistry boss quits as revenue and completions dip



Vistry boss Greg Fitzgerald (pictured above) has announced he will leave the housebuilder, as the company reports declines in revenue and completions.


In the full year results to 31st December 2025, Greg confirmed he would retire as chair in May 2026 and step down as CEO by March 2027.

Last year saw revenue dip 4% to £3.6bn with completions also decreasing by 9%, from 17,225 units to 15,658.

Despite this, operating profits of £353.8m were reported which were 1% lower than 2024 and still in line with guidance.

Vistry continued to secure land and development opportunities with 12,599 plots in 2025, though this was down from the 16,508 secured in 2024.

Looking ahead, Vistry expects to deliver “good year-on-year revenue and volume growth” and improvement in adjusted profits before tax in 2026.

This is in part due to a forward order book of £4.5bn as of March 2026, up £500m from the end of 2025.

"Our full year results were in line with guidance, assisted by the expected strong second half performance, and despite continued challenges in the open market and the uncertainty created by the November Budget,” commented Greg.

“These results are testament to the incredible hard work of our teams and demonstrate the resilience of our differentiated market positioning and the commitment of our partners.”
