We develop places where individuals and families can live and flourish. Places that not only cater for community needs but enhance lifestyles. Places that feel like home.
These principles continue to shape Redrow’s successful strategy, delivering sustainable returns for customers, communities and shareholders.
Great Homes
Every element of a Redrow home is carefully considered to offer a better way of living. Inside and out, from first time buyer to large family homes, we never lose sight of our responsibility to our customers, making sure that their home is not just a place to live, but a place for living.
We appreciate that homebuyers’ needs and aspirations differ and have recently introduced our new Lifestyle Collection of homes.
These offer a unique concept in new homes design, with fewer but more spacious suite-style bedrooms, each with their own luxury en-suite bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe to the master suite. Our Lifestyle homes offer customers unrivalled space and specification ideal for any lifestage.
Thriving Communities
As the pre-eminent builder of Garden Villages in the UK, Redrow is creating thriving communities across the country, including Woodford Garden Village in Cheshire, Ebbsfleet Green, Kent and Plasdwr, Cardiff. Plasdwr is Wales’ first Garden City and will deliver 7,000 high quality homes over the next two decades.
By creating new schools, sports facilities, shops and services, within these innovative villages and towns, Redrow creates thriving communities that integrate work, leisure and home life; in the true spirit of the Garden Village movement.
Not only do we build communities of our own, we work hard to integrate into the wider community, improving services for the benefit of the whole neighbourhood and making leisure spaces more accessible for everyone to enjoy.
We create and improve transport infrastructure via roads, paths and cycleways that blend seamlessly with the existing network.
Building Responsibly
Of course we never forget that our communities also include a wide range of other local wildlife residents too.
That’s why we create layouts carefully designed to allow the natural flow of life, with ponds, wetlands and wildlife habitats, bee friendly gardens and family friendly woodlands.
We work hard to protect the wider environment too, with 99.9% of our timber responsibly sourced, and over 95% of our waste diverted from landfill.
Valuing People
We are committed to developing our people and partners, whilst inspiring the next generation to build.
Around 6,800 training days were completed in the last year alone. Our culture is so strong that c96% of our colleagues say they are proud to be a part of our company.
We’ve launched a housebuilding degree in partnership with Liverpool John Moores University and Coleg Cambria, one of the UK’s largest colleges. The first students to embark on the degree programme will be Redrow team members and they will start their course in 2018.
We’ve also built a community of suppliers and subcontractors who work together with Redrow to deliver our vision in a sustainable way. What’s more, 92% of our subcontracted labour force are local to our developments and 92% of our materials are locally sourced, helping to strengthen the economy in the communities in which we work.
Demonstrating our long-term commitment to developing apprentices, we were delighted to have been recognised at the 2018 National Apprenticeship Awards as a Top 100 Apprenticeship Employer for a record fifth year in a row. Apprenticeships are an example of how our industry has the power to increase social mobility and change lives. We’re proud to be leading the industry in this area.
Finally, in an increasingly bustling and busy world, with so many demands on our time and energy, a sense of community is perhaps more important than ever. A feeling of belonging, a sense of sharing our lives together and supporting each other along the way.
At Redrow, building communities is not a nostalgic nod to the past; it’s a genuine step forward into the future.
Redrow are proud to play our part in creating thriving communities and a better way to live.
