A very exciting day today as we had pupils from Beech Lodge School come to help get the centre ready for opening!

These pupils will be part of our first cohort of learners and it was great to see them take instruction about handling tools, putting them away and getting used to the environment.

Feedback was positive and they seemed to enjoy themselves! Look forward to seeing you back soon guys! 👷‍♂️

We’re very nearly ready for our first cohort of students joining us on Wednesday. Can’t imagine it’ll stay this tidy for long! 🧱👷‍♂️

Excellent!

Building a new home is only part of the story.

Across England, new build developments generated £46 billion of economic activity last year, supporting schools, transport, open spaces and local jobs, on top of the homes themselves.

At Shanly Homes, that shows up close to home too through our support of local charities, schools and community groups across every development we build, because a new place to live should also mean a stronger community to be part of.

Proud to support the Home Builders Federation's Power to Belong campaign, and the wider role home building plays in bringing people, places and communities together.
