Derbyshire Councillors present for brand-new show home launch
A leading developer has marked the launch of its brand-new show homes at Ashbourne Airfield in Ashbourne with local councillors in attendance to the official unveiling.
David Wilson Homes welcomed representatives from Ashbourne Town Council and Derbyshire Dales District Council to the new community in January, offering an introduction to the development on Harrison Way, which is delivering a high-quality mix of one to five bedroom homes to the town.
Guests included Cllr Caroline Cooper, Mayor of Ashbourne Town Council; Cllr Stuart Lees, ward councillor for Ashbourne North; and Cllr Robert Archer, ward councillor for Ashbourne South at Derbyshire Dales District Council, alongside the former landowners: Joanne Harrison, Paul Harrison, Sue Barker and Dorothy Harrison.
They were joined by John Reddington, Managing Director at David Wilson Homes East Midlands; Rachael Harrison, Sales Director; and members of David Wilson Homes’ wider team.
The event began with an opportunity for guests to meet the team and discuss the progress of the development, before John Reddington delivered a speech highlighting the importance of Ashbourne Airfield for the housebuilder and the local community.
Following the introduction, John Reddington invited attendees to raise a glass, officially marking the launch of the show homes at Ashbourne Airfield. Guests were then given a guided tour of the two show homes and the wider site.
Cllr Caroline Cooper said: “It was an enjoyable evening, and it was great to speak with so many members of the David Wilson Homes team about the show homes. I loved each of them, as they feel so comfortable as soon as you walk in.
“The housebuilder’s team made me feel very welcome, and the homes were excellent value for money.”
John Reddington, Managing Director at David Wilson Homes East Midlands, said: “It was a real pleasure to welcome our guests as we marked this important moment for us as a housebuilder and for Ashbourne. We are proud to deliver high-quality homes in a community with deep roots and a clear vision for the future.
“With new footpaths, cycle links, and a new play area planned, Ashbourne Airfield has been designed with families, wellbeing and long-term community growth in mind. We’re looking forward to welcoming home buyers to the development to explore the brand-new show homes.”
