#WomenInConstruction Week – an occasion dedicated to recognising and championing the contributions of women in the construction sector. At Gleeson, we take immense pride in our exceptional and dedicated female workforce spanning various departments, each bringing a unique set of skills and insights. We've had the privilege to engage with several influential women within our organisation, some of whom break the 'traditional' gender norms by excelling in roles previously dominated by men. #WomenInConstructionWeek #womenempoweringwomen #construction #KeystotheFuture
We are pleased to share the recent acquisition of a new site in Misterton, Nottinghamshire! The site, which will be known as Mynster Fields, has secured planning permission for 48 new homes, including a mix of 2, 3, and 4 bedroom houses, as well as eight shared equity bungalows, catering to the housing needs of the area. A huge well done to the Yorkshire South and West land team for their exceptional efforts in bringing this project to fruition.

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
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.

Introducing our 2023 cohort of Apprentice Bricklayers! 🧱️👷♂️ We are excited to announce that Gleeson has chosen the NHBC Hub in Hull as the venue for our Apprentices to carry out their studies. The apprentices will receive onsite training at designated sites and attend the Hub for block release. Sharon Jarvis, Learning and Development Manager, expressed her enthusiasm, stating: "It is great to see the NHBC training hub in Hull welcome the first cohort of Gleeson Apprentice Bricklayers. With its purpose-built facilities mirroring real on-site working conditions, our apprentice bricklayers will spend their initial five weeks honing their core skills. They will then return to the site, applying what they have learned. Gleeson site teams, along with our dedicated Early Talent Co-ordinator, Deborah Lindsay, will provide continuous support throughout the programme." #apprenticeship #gleesonhomes #earlytalent #bricklaying
