Dimora
Al Penfold
CEO/ Founder
I’ve spent over 20 years in UK residential development — building businesses, raising capital, and delivering single-family, build-to-rent, and regeneration projects across the country.
Having worked for PLC housebuilders, institutional investors, fund managers, and start-ups, I bring a joined-up view of how to turn strategy into delivery.
I founded Dimora to offer clients a more personal and accountable approach — one trusted partner who understands every stage of the development journey, from deal origination to completion.
