Halifax's Southdale launches energy efficiency division

Halifax-based construction and development specialist Southdale has launched a brand new division to provide energy efficiency upgrades to homes.

As well as delivering eco-funded projects in existing homes, the new ‘Greendale’ business will also lead Southdale’s first move into offering planned maintenance for home owners and landlords.

Greendale is led by Nick O’Connor and Mark Pickles, who have joined the company as directors, with more than two decades of experience in the market between them.

The pair have provided eco enhancements and planned maintenance to more than 13,000 homes across Yorkshire, including 12,000 as part of an enhanced Decent Homes Project for the Wakefield and District Housing Partnership during their seven years together with Keepmoat.

Nick returns to Southdale after eight years away and will lead the operational side of the business, while Mark takes responsibility for the commercial aspects of the firm, which will operate as a distinct unit within the Southdale Group.

Paul Moore, managing director of Southdale said: “During the last 25 years, Southdale has established itself as a house builder in the affordable homes market, to the point where we now have strong operations across the North of England.

“The launch of Greendale takes our growth in a new direction, expanding into the growing market which is developing around work covered by eco funding opportunities, as well as into planned maintenance of properties.”
