We’re incredibly proud to share that a project we delivered for Herefordshire, Ludlow and North Shropshire College has been shortlisted for the final of the UK Green Business Awards 2026.

Being recognised in the ‘Green Building Project of the Year’ category is a fantastic achievement and a testament to the collaboration and innovation shown by everyone involved.

This project represents what can be achieved when forward thinking design meets practical delivery, and we’re honoured to have played a key role in bringing it to life.

Congratulations to all project partners; we couldn’t be prouder to be part of this journey. 🌱

The finishing touches are now being applied as we prepare for the next phased handover for Connexus

Attention to detail at this stage is something we genuinely pride ourselves on, but what makes this project especially rewarding is the level of integration we’ve achieved within the local community. Being present, listening, and working alongside residents has reinforced why we do what we do.

Construction isn’t just about bricks and mortar. It’s about pride, building trust, and creating spaces where people can feel safe, comfortable, and truly at home again. Seeing a house transition back into a home—knowing the care, collaboration, and craftsmanship behind it, is the real measure of success for us.

We’re proud of the progress so far and grateful to everyone involved for their continued support and commitment as we move into the next phase.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.

Today, we pause to honour the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of those who served in times of war and conflict.

We’d like to pay special tribute to one of our own, Geoffrey Thomas Snr, who served with distinction in the 202 Battalion GHQ Reserves, known as ‘Auxiliaries’ during World War II.
The Mercian Maquis, as they were later known as refers to the secret resistance organisation in Herefordshire and Worcestershire during World War II that would have operated behind enemy lines in the event of a German invasion. The Maquis were made up of groups of 6 local men who operated from hidden, underground bases in wooded areas, which were stocked with arms and explosives.

The selected men were trained in Coleshill Swindon, for sabotage and terror tactics from camouflaged underground bases. Geoffrey Probert Thomas (founder of G.P. Thomas Construction) was a builder and agricultural contractor. His group based at Dinmore Hill were called Abednego and featured local men: - N.D.O Capper, R.G.H Brooks, G.P. Thomas, G.H. Chambers R.E. Holford, F.J. Hancorn. The story of the special auxiliaries (Mercian Maquis) was only recently revealed, as some surviving members broke their vow of silence.

Their sacrifice was the ultimate act of love for their country. May we always remember them.

We’re thrilled to see our Homegrounds development in Eastington featured in BBC Panorama’s “Race to Build 1.5 Million Homes” a powerful spotlight on the national housing challenge and the local solutions making a real difference. In partnership with the Eastington Community Land Trust (ECLT), we’re delivering 31 much needed affordable homes. With a mix of flats, bungalows, and family houses.

Being part of this national conversation is an honour, and we’re proud to showcase how rural developments like Eastington can lead the way in sustainable, community-led housing.

We were especially delighted to see the exceptional work of Merlin Timber Frame Ltd represented in the programme, highlighting their craftsmanship and quality.

The government’s made a very big promise: to build 1.5 million new homes in England by 2029. Anita Rani and Justin Rowlatt travel the length of the country to find out if it can be done.

🎉🎉 Happy Birthday to our Chairman 🎉🎉

Partially retired… and somehow still clocking up more hours than most.

Whether it’s steering the ship or keeping us all on our toes - he’s still very much the heartbeat of our day to day.

Here’s hoping the Luctonians deliver a birthday win today for you 🏟️🍻
