🌿 A Huge Thank You to One Planet Living Abingdon! 🌍

We had a brilliant time at the One Planet Living Festival this past Saturday! It was an inspiring day filled with fantastic conversations, innovative ideas, and a wonderful sense of community spirit.

We were thrilled to share a stand with Philippa Hoy from Bioregional and to have James Pritchett from the Greencore Team talk on the stage about our better than net zero homes. It was a pleasure meeting so many passionate individuals who are committed to making a positive impact on our planet.

A highlight of the day was meeting the Mayor of Abingdon, Gabby Barody, and Town Councillor Elio Astone.

Thank you to everyone who came by our stall to say hello and learn more about our initiatives. Your enthusiasm and support mean the world to us!

Today at UKREiiF, our CEO, Jon Di-Stefano participated in a thought-provoking panel at the Sustainable Growth Pavilion about “How Can We Unlock Sustainable Finance to Support SME Developers?”

Jon joined some great panelists, including Chinyelu Oranefo, Director of Sustainability & ESG Finance at Lloyds Bank, and Jane Anderson, Head of ESG Investment at Homes England. The discussion was chaired by Sarah Milne Head of Impact at Puma Property Finance, who also hosted the event.

The conversation centered around innovative strategies to drive sustainable finance, enabling SME developers to create eco-friendly, resilient communities.

At Greencore Homes, we’re committed to leading the way in building Climate Positive homes and places. This event was a fantastic opportunity to share insights and collaborate with industry leaders.

Greencore Homes, an innovative leader in sustainable housebuilding, has joined Madaster, the top platform for material passports and circular economy solutions, as the third UK Pioneer. Following Morgan Sindall Group plc and Drees & Sommer UK, Greencore aims to deliver over 10,000 Climate Positive homes by 2035.

By partnering with Madaster UK, Greencore will aim to create material passports for each of their homes, enhancing transparency and accountability in the construction industry. This data-driven approach ensures the highest standards of environmental performance are communicated to customers and investors.

Ness Scott of Greencore Homes states, “Joining Madaster is a significant milestone in our journey towards building Climate Positive places and ultra low energy homes.”

Andrea Charlson, Madaster UK Managing Director, adds, “We are delighted to welcome Greencore Homes. Together, we’ll shape a low carbon, circular built environment.”

We are please to announce that we have been shortlisted for 2 Unlock Net Zero Awards for our project in Hook Norton.



– Collaboration of The Year – New Development Projects

– Innovation of The Year – Product



The Hook Norton Project, a collaborative effort built by Greencore Homes partnering with Hook Norton Community Land Trust (HNCLT), Charlie Luxton Design, SNRG and Soha Housing stands as an exemplar of innovation, sustainability, and community engagement.



We look forward to the award ceremony on the 26th of June.

We’re thrilled to share that nearly half of our team has transitioned to electric vehicles (EVs). With this shift, the demand for charging infrastructure has surged.

Recently, Ian Pritchett and James Pritchett from Greencore had the privilege of visiting ⚡️Jordan Marie Brompton and her team at the state-of-the-art myenergi headquarters in Grimsby where they manufacture all of their kit including the Zappi EV Chargers .

It was an enlightening experience to witness firsthand the production process of the chargers that are now powering our fleet.

Thanks to the collaboration with SNRG, who have installed a SmartGrid which includes a 726-panel, 302kWp rooftop solar array and a 100kW/ 200kWh battery storage system. This helps to ensure our chargers operate sustainably whilst harnessing the power of the sun when it shines.

Greencore now boasts 14 Zappi chargers, furthering our mission to embrace sustainable practices and reduce our carbon footprint.

Stay tuned for more updates on our journey towards a greener future!

We are delighted to announce that we have secured a further £30 million of equity from M&G Investments.

The investment will be used to drive our expansion, initially by targeting land acquisitions across the South-East of England. Building on an existing portfolio of completed and pipeline projects, we are looking for new partnerships to deliver affordable and private housing for rent and for sale in addition to our existing partnership with M&G Real Estate.

Zachary Webb, Head of European Investments in Catalyst, commented “Greencore’s approach is unique and a disruptive solution with huge potential to scale. Our extra investment will create opportunities to deliver urgently needed high quality, ultra-low carbon homes, using methods and materials that showcase what the future of the UK housebuilding industry could look like.”

Jon Di-Stefano, CEO of Greencore Homes said “This investment will enable us to secure the land needed to deliver on our targets whilst supporting local communities, jobs and the environment. We look forward to continuing our strong relationship with M&G while we seek out new partnerships to help bolster our pipeline and support our target of building 10,000 climate-positive homes.”

Greencore Homes has recently been accredited by BOPAS who provide assurance on the long-term performance and quality of offsite manufactured homes.
 
Having BOPAS accreditation ensures that offsite manufactured homes meet or exceed industry standards for quality and durability. Many lenders, insurance companies and warranty providers require assurance on the long-term performance of properties before offering mortgages, financing insurance or warranties on the homes.
 
Jon Di-Stefano, CEO of Greencore Homes said “BOPAS accreditation validates our commitment to delivering high-quality, durable properties that exceed industry standards. We can provide homeowners, lenders, and investors with the assurance they need in the long-term performance of our homes. This is a testament to our dedication to excellence and reinforces our position as a trusted developer in the market. Our BOPAS accreditation will be vital as we scale up the business to deliver 10,000 homes by 2035.”
