HOUSEBUILDER Persimmon is preparing to open nine more sites in Scotland in the coming six months as its executives promised investors they could return £1.9 billion of surplus cash over the next decade while continuing to grow.
Managing director Jeff Fairburn told The Herald that sales completions were "sustained" in Scotland during 2011 as it opened 15 new sites and bought more land north of the Border.
He said: "We have seen a good start to the year. Visitor levels are up and we have got a good forward sales position."
