LSE:PSN (Persimmon Plc)
About PSN
Persimmon Plc is the UK's second-largest residential property developer by the number of home completions. The company was founded in 1972 and named after a Derby-winning horse in the 19th century.
It operates under three primary brands, namely Persimmon Homes, Charles Church, and Westbury Partnerships. Rather than targeting the high-end luxury housing market, Persimmon caters to the lower-priced segment of the new build market. As such, most of its customers are typically first-time homebuyers.
Beyond home construction, the group also operates three off-site manufacturing facilities making it a vertically integrated business. Its subsidiaries, Tileworks, Brickworks, FibreNest, and Space4, manufacture and supply all the construction materials needed for its properties.
