“The newly instated management team have had an impressive start to their tenure. We look forward to our continued partnership with them and supporting the business’ growth developing more retirement communities across the UK.”

Further expansion of Wadswick Green is under way with the construction of 45 new independent living apartments, with a further 45 independent living units planned to break ground later in 2019.

Howard Nankivell, Chief Executive Officer of Rangeford, said: “The completion of this development is an exciting milestone for us and highlights our progress in establishing Rangeford as a leading operator of exceptional quality retirement living in the UK. The expansion of Wadswick Green builds on the completion of phase 1 in 2015, which saw 112 contemporary apartments developed, and solidifies this as one of our flagship sites.

“The standard of living offered in this dynamic retirement community is outstanding and, with additional apartments made available, we can now offer the exciting and enjoyable community lifestyle it provides to more people entering this stage of their lives.”
