Persimmon said the acquisition of Lone Star Limited (LSL) enhanced its strategic land function.

LSL will continue to operate as a land promotion business, led by managing director Richard Burke, with a focus on securing medium to large strategic sites and expanding the pipeline in attractive locations.

Persimmon deputy UK managing director Liam Scott said: “This investment strengthens Persimmon’s strategic land platform and supports our broader growth ambitions. By combining Lone Star’s expertise with our own, we can unlock new land opportunities, creating long-term value for our partners, stakeholders and communities.

“And importantly, by retaining Lone Star’s experienced team we’re ensuring continuity and enhancing our ability to deliver on Persimmon’s growth plans.”

Lone Star Limited managing director Richard Burke said: “This partnership provides the opportunity to leverage Persimmon’s scale and expertise, building on our existing long-standing relationships. I look forward to working with colleagues and customers alike to identify and accelerate both existing and new opportunities in the years ahead.”
