A house builder behind two new developments in Herefordshire and Worcestershire has entered administration.

Strand Homes owns a recently-completed four bedroom house in Ryall, near Upton, as well as development of 42 apartments and 23 cottages at Bartestree, near Hereford.

Last Thursday, May 9, directors appointed Matt Cowlishaw and David Langton of business advisory firm Deloitte as joint administrators.

Mr Cowlishaw said: “The Bartestree and Ryall developments are located in country village settings and have been completed to a high standard.

“We have appointed Grainger Ramp Limited as asset manager to manage the process of realising these properties.”
