Why We Build with Greater Manchester Based Suppliers & Contractors: Supporting Local Trades and Communities

Proud to Build Local

At the heart of our work is a simple but powerful belief: local matters. As a main contractor delivering high-quality, affordable housing across Greater Manchester, we’re proud to partner with local subcontractors, suppliers, and tradespeople. Working with Greater Manchester based suppliers & contractors helps us support the regional economy, create skilled jobs, and nurture long-term relationships.  

This isn’t just a preference – it’s an intentional effort to build stronger, more resilient communities.

Why Local Matters – Speed, quality, reliability, reinvestment in community.

The real advantage of working with local teams is that it not only reflects our values, but it also helps us build more efficiently, more reliably, and with people we know and trust. From faster turnarounds to a stronger sense of accountability, working locally truly makes a difference.

Speed and Responsiveness
Local teams understand the landscape- literally and figuratively. From navigating Manchester’s traffic to sourcing materials efficiently, their proximity allows for quicker, more reliable delivery across our sites.

Quality and Accountability
We collaborate with businesses that take pride in their craftsmanship. Many have been with us across multiple developments, bringing consistency, care, and a reputation built on trust.

Reliability and Flexibility
Being nearby means our partners can adapt quickly, reducing downtime and ensuring steady progress across all stages of construction.

Reinvestment in the Community
By working with Greater Manchester’s trades and suppliers, we help keep investment within the region. This supports jobs, training, apprenticeships, and the wider local economy.

The People Behind the Homes We Build.

Behind every home we build is a dedicated team of local specialists who bring skill, care and pride to their work. From joiners and electricians to decorators, tilers and landscapers, we’re fortunate to work with a trusted network of Greater Manchester-based subcontractors who share our standards and values.

Firms like Charcon Joinery, Druggitt & Harding, New Look Windows and AGV Plastering Services have played a key role in delivering the quality our developments are known for. Their craftsmanship, whether it’s a finely finished staircase or a smooth plastered wall, reflects the pride they take in building for their own communities.

Many of these businesses are family-run or have grown through generations, and the relationships we’ve built with them are a big part of what makes our projects a success. Together we’re not just building homes. We’re building something that lasts, with purpose and care.

Commitment to continuing local partnerships.

Supporting local trades isn’t a one-off initiative for us. It’s part of how we build every day. It means opening doors for local talent, maintaining high standards and reinvesting in the communities we help shape.

As we continue to grow, we’re committed to working with Greater Manchester based suppliers & contractors at every level, from apprentices taking their first steps to experienced contractors with strong ties to the area. Their local knowledge, understanding of community needs and long-term commitment all play a vital role in the lasting success of our developments. For us, building homes is about more than completing projects. It’s about creating places where people and communities can thrive.
