Experience With a Personal Touch

Two Perspectives. One Vision.

WildRose Developments is led by Jonathan Wildgoose and Andrew Rouse, who together bring over 60 years of development expertise in planning, construction, and strategic finance, focusing on land value optimisation within the framework of UK planning.

Jonathan Wildgoose

Jonathan brings extensive business experience from various industries and countries. This diverse background provides him with a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities in UK land development and planning. 


As Director and Chairman of his family’s construction business (Wildgoose Construction Ltd), Jonathan gained hands-on experience leading projects in housing, hospitality, education, medical, and care sectors. The company built a reputation for delivering high quality projects.


Jonathan founded Wildgoose Homes, broadening his expertise in land transactions, planning, and development. He has overseen land sales, managed his own developments, and built strong skills in architectural design and residential property marketing.


“Launching a successful housing development requires significant effort, but success depends on prioritising good design and environmental respect from the outset.” Jonathan Wildgoose

Andrew Rouse

Andrew brings deep commercial real estate and financial expertise, specialising in high-value acquisitions, major planning applications, financial structuring, and institutional funding. His development expertise is evident in his ability to optimise land value effectively in various projects. 


As Co-Founder and Development Director of Marmalade Developments, Andrew successfully delivered 80 high-quality apartments in Chesterfield, establishing a trusted delivery team that still collaborates with him today.


Andrew co-founded Longrose Developments and Vine Hotels, where he led the acquisition, financing, and UK planning for major hotel and residential schemes, partnering with global brands such as Hilton, Accor, and Best Western. He maintains longstanding relationships with major financial institutions, recently securing funding terms for a 350 home Build-to-Rent (BTR) scheme.


"My focus is on creating value through precision. Whether it's navigating a substantial funding deal or a local residential scheme, the goal is the same: to deliver excellence through strong relationships," Andrew Rouse.
