Homes England pays a visit to our Dorset factory

1st October 2021

We opened our factory doors yesterday (30th September) to welcome officials from Homes England.

Our guests were able to walk around the factory, seeing various homes in different stages of production from initial steel frame assembly to near completion, ready for transport to site.

Paul Kitson (Director of High Growth and New Settlements), Edward Jezeph (Senior Manager, Product Development), Catherine Turner (Head of High Growth Areas and New Settlements) and Sarah Hayes (Senior Partnership and Business Development Manager) took a tour of our manufacturing facility and heard a presentation by our Managing Director Steve Chivers.

Also present were Paul Read (Director of Sustainability and New Supply at Magna Housing), Jamie Turpin (Construction and Development Director at our parent company Newship Group), Iain Steele (Projects Director at Rollalong) and Laura Katon (Business Development Manager at Rollalong).

“It was great to welcome Homes England to witness the evolution of factory-built, energy-efficient, low-carbon, affordable homes planned for delivery throughout Dorset, Wiltshire and Somerset,” said Steve Chivers.

“We are extremely proud to showcase our regional delivery model which could be rolled out throughout the UK to help solve the housing crisis. Local communities built by local people, using local manufacturers for local people – we are creating systemic change in our transition toward a circular economy in the South West.”

The homes being manufactured in our factory have been designed in collaboration with our partner Magna Housing to ensure a product-led mindset, championing high quality, energy efficiency, design flexibility and consumer choice.

“Bringing together the registered housing provider, the MMC manufacturer and the land facilitator / grant funder in a collaborative dialogue was very helpful, and this sort of dialogue will be the key to developing successful relationships in the future” Steve added.

“The support given by Homes England to the MMC sector has certainly had a significant impact on the uptake of this construction method, and this has helped modern methods of construction to gain traction in the development of social and affordable housing across the country.”
