Bovis Homes
1965 Bovis Homes was formed as a separate business with the Bovis group, focusing on the private housing market.
1967 Bovis Homes acquired Frank Sanderson’s Malcolm Sanderson Developments and the much larger R. T. Warren. Frank Sanderson rapidly expanded the business through acquisition, including the quoted Page Johnson and Varney Holdings.
1973 Bovis Homes had become the second largest housebuilder in the UK.
1997 Bovis Homes was de-merged from P&O and floated on the London Stock Exchange, becoming Bovis Homes Group PLC. The flotation severed links with Bovis Construction; P&O retained Bovis's operations in Florida and Germany.
