Last week, the Moorland Green development in Chopwell proudly welcomed local MP Liz Twist, and Gateshead Council members Amanda Reed and John Adams for a tour of our show homes and site. Excited to showcase the affordability and high quality of our homes, the team discussed how we stand out from other builders in the area and that we attract a lot of buyers from neighbouring villages because of this. During the visit, Liz also showed interest in our Castledene site in Consett, as well as the upcoming development in Birtley. A huge well done to the Gleeson team who hosted the guests, Tracy Clark-McCabe, Paul Savage, Daniel Hallowell, Allison Bews, Ashleigh Tate and Emily Brown!

Recognising International Women's Day, a day dedicated to recognising the accomplishments and impact of women globally. It is a moment to reflect on the advancements in gender equality and the ongoing efforts needed for further progress. ♀️ In celebration of International Women's Day aligning with Women in Construction Week, we saw this as a great opportunity to record a special edition podcast episode exploring this year's themes, 'Keys to the Future' and ‘Inspire Inclusion’. We are joined by two remarkable women from Gleeson, Alice Best, our Head of Organisational Development, and Sarah Rochelle, our Senior Ecologist to share the successes they've achieved, and the importance of promoting diversity and inclusion within the industry. Let's strive to create a world where everyone, regardless of gender, has the opportunity to thrive and succeed.

We were pleased to see our CEO Graham Prothero quoted in last week’s Mail on Sunday as housebuilders call for increased support for lower income purchasers. While our affordable price points means the majority of our purchasers do not pay stamp duty, Graham called for the removal or lowering of this transaction tax to help stimulate confidence and activity in a tentative market. #Housebuilding #AffordableHousing #StampDuty #FirstTimeBuyers #Homes

We are pleased to announce the launch of a shared ownership scheme across Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire in partnership with heylo. The scheme enables customers to purchase a percentage of their new home upfront before paying the remainder of the amount in monthly payments, and is being rolled out across our regions in the coming weeks and months. This represents one of a number of steps we have taken to broaden our potential customer pool and proposition, including our recent branding and marketing refresh.

Yesterday, the Government announced that the National Living Wage will rise by 10%, from £10.42 to £11.44 an hour, from April 2024. As the largest ever NLW increase, this is a critical step in providing much needed additional capital for lower income workers. With an increased income, the hope is that this will provide a meaningful boost for the affordable housing sector, with 2.7 million people nationally due to benefit, making home ownership more attainable.
