\u201cBased on the strength of our current performance and the robust demand that we are seeing, we are today updating our medium term guidance,\u201d continued Morgan. \u201cWe now expect turnover in 2020 of c\u00a32.2bn and pre-tax profit of c\u00a3430m. We expect the dividend in 2020 to rise to 32p per share.\u201d Redrow also increased its number of employees by 12%, and now employs amtotal of 2,200 people. In addition, the housebuilder added\u00a05,419 plots to its current land bank \u2013 of which over 60% were converted from forward land.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese exceptional results were achieved against an uncertain political and economic backdrop as a result of Brexit and also an ongoing requirement to manage an industry-wide shortage of skills to meet our build programmes,\u201d added chief executive John Tutte. But he added that Redrow\u2019s rate of growth would: \u201cmoderate over time as divisions reach optimal scale and our scope for divisional expansion reduces.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
