As we celebrate our 50th anniversary this year, we’re on the hunt for original and long-term residents to share their experiences and unique stories. Our longest standing customer(s) will also win a prize of £500 as a thank you for telling their story.
Founded in 1974, by Steve Morgan CBE with just £5,000, loaned to him by his father. With hard work and dedication, five years later we expanded from civil engineering into main contract building, seeing our first housing development in Denbigh, North Wales. After that, we quickly expanded into the homes sector, cementing our reputation as a high-quality homebuilder. Steve’s entrepreneurial spirit runs through the company to this day, making us one of the most successful and forward-looking housebuilders in the country.
Most recently, we became the first large housebuilder to introduce air source heat pumps into all of our new developments with underfloor heating as standard, reaffirming our commitment to creating future-fit homes, with greener, more efficient features, a top priority for homebuyers according to recent research.
Over the years, we have built more than 120,000 homes, housing the equivalent population of a major city like Nottingham, and now has twelve regional divisions across England and Wales. Although our first scheme in Denbigh may have consisted of just 36 bungalows, we have evolved our home designs over the years and have continuously innovated building everything from apartments to penthouses, family houses and first buyer homes. We have consistently produced high-quality homes with a focus on green spaces and community, helping customers to discover a better way of living.
For us, it is the people and communities that are at the heart of our business. We have committed to funding over £1.3 billion worth of improvements to local communities over the last five years alone*.
With over 2,000 colleagues with a combined service of over 11,000 years and customers up and down the country, we will be connecting and celebrating its 50th anniversary with the people who have made its houses homes across the years.
