Neil Waller, Partner who was part of the Trowers team said:

"We are pleased to have supported Warwick District Council on the financing of this new joint venture with Vistry Partnerships, as well as the affordable housing development agreement which is set to deliver much needed affordable housing in the district."

The Trowers team consisted of Imogen Fisher and Neil Waller who led on Banking, Darren Ashworth and Matthew Johnson on the affordable housing deal, Amy Shaw and James McCormack advising on property funding matters and Andy Waite on Construction with input from Sophie Emerson-Mcintee on Planning.
