Barratt Developments has been named "Housebuilder of the Year" 2011 at the industry's most prestigious annual awards ceremony.
As well as winning the main prize, we also won three individual award categories:
- Best Regeneration (Bluebell in Nuneaton)
- Best Landscaping (Vizion in Milton Keynes)
- Best Community Initiative (Pickering Community Park in Yorkshire)
Together with our 5 star housebuilder status and 112 NHBC "Pride in the Job" Awards it's yet more proof that we are the nation's leading housebuilder.
Our History
We built our first home in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1958. Since then, we have built over 300,000 more, becoming one of Britain’s largest and best known homebuilders in the process.
Today, we are stronger than ever and include some of the sector’s most successful brands: Barratt Homes, David Wilson Homes, Ward Homes and Wilson Bowden Developments.
Every year, these businesses build and sell thousands of new homes and commercial and mixed use property, ranging from starter and family homes, through to exclusive luxury apartments, and offices to retail parks. We also provide affordable homes for rent and shared ownership, helping meet Britain’s growing housing need in towns and rural areas across the country. All this means we’re a big business, employing in excess of 4,000 people in locations across the United Kingdom.
As a high performing business we are looking for high performing people. The size and the scale of our work means that we are able to offer all kinds of roles, from administrative and accountancy, through to sales and surveying. Whatever your background, you can be sure of a solid future within the Barratt Group.
Elsewhere on this site, we’ve explained how important it is for our changing organisation to attract, keep and develop the right sort of people – and you can even take a short, self selection questionnaire to see how well suited you are to our organisation.
