Retirement housebuilder McCarthy & Stone is set to unveil a host of modernising efforts this week, including the launch of a wine club for residents and online GP appointments, as its new boss seeks to revive the business.
The FTSE 250 company will reveal half-year results on Wednesday, with chief executive John Tonkiss hoping to show his recovery plan is working after pre-tax profits slumped by more than a third to £58m last year.
Tonkiss, 51, who was previously chief operating officer of the student accommodation provider Unite, has been trying to make retirement living more attractive.
