Housebuilder Bellway has expanded its services in the East of Scotland by launching a brand new division in Livingston.

Its latest division, Bellway Homes Limited (Scotland East), officially opened its doors in Almondvale Business Park.

The new office will initially be responsible for developments in Shawfair, East Calder, Broxburn, Perth and Edinburgh.

Regional director Iain Allison will take over the management of the new division, overseeing 26 staff.

The housebuilder's other developments across Scotland will continue to be managed from Bellway Homes Limited (Scotland West) offices in Hamilton.

The company has plans to increase the number of outlets from the current five to eleven over the course of the next twelve months, launching two new sites from the Livingston office in early 2019.

The new sites include a development of 110 homes, adjacent to the company's Winchburgh Village site and 170 units at Gilmerton in Edinburgh.

Further sites in Livingston, Perth, Dunfermline, Mid and East Lothian are also earmarked for development over the next two years.
