We have recently handed over a beautiful show home in Crowland where prospective buyers can see what they are in store for when they move into the new homes. This is a social affordable housing development, comprising 55 new homes for Longhurst Group. We look forward to handing over the remainder of the homes later this year. Thanks to Longhurst Group for the photos!

 

 

 

Last month, we attended Upton-Upon-Severn CofE Primary School alongside Severn Trent education team. We got involved with Severn Trent’s free assembly that teaches the kids how to be a #HydrationHero, the problem with single use plastic, and the important role of Severn Trent when it comes to our water cycle. Thanks for having us!

On #RuralHousingWeek there is an urgent need to protect and build more affordable housing in rural areas. Many rural communities are at risk, as young families and those on modest incomes are priced out, and local services are closed. GEDA are committed to levelling up rural communities and continue to provide housing in lesser populated areas such as Crich and Gotham.

This year we have delivered our 1000th home in the midlands and we are proud to work alongside various housing associations to provide housing in areas that need it most!

Huge congratulations to Antoin who fought off very tough competition to win the 2022 Kevin Carey Award! This award recognises one of our top performing students for their contribution and development over their year’s placement with GEDA.

It is usually a very difficult decision and this year was certainly no exception. The standard was extremely high and we would like to commend all of our students for their hard work, commitment and positive impact while they were here. Kevin Carey was a colleague of ours, a civil engineer who was a terrific mentor to students. He was knowledgeable, patient and encouraging, and found mentoring students very rewarding. This award is in memory of him.

 

 

Plot 1 at Gallows Inn Close, Ilkeston was recently handed over to its delighted new residents. This property was customised with numerous enhancements to help make a better living environment for a much deserving family with a child that has additional needs.

#TeamGEDA worked closely with EMH Homes and the family and arranged numerous viewings before handover to help understand their full requirements. The family were blown away and commented that this will truly change all their lives. Credit to the full project delivery team!
