History

Persimmon was founded by Duncan Davidson in 1972. [http://corporate.persimmonhomes.com/psn/aboutus/history/ Persimmon: History] ] It was first listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1985.

In 2001 it acquired "Beazer Homes UK", for £537.5m, then the largest house builder in the UK. The deal came about after Beazer and Bryant announced a 'merger of equals' to create a new house builder called Domus. [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/1118351.stm Persimmon to enter Beazer race] ] However, Taylor Woodrow stepped in with a £556m bid for Bryant, and Persimmon bought Beazer, a company named after its founder Brian Beazer, and originally started in Bath. The acquisition of Beazer brought with it Charles Church, a business founded by Charles and Sussana Church in 1965.

In January 2006 Persimmon acquired Westbury plc, another listed UK house builder, for a total consideration of £643 million. [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4465540.stm UK Housebuilders announce tie-up] ]
