Barratt builds on Bristol success with new regional office

Leading housebuilder Barratt Homes has pledged its support to the south west with the opening of a new regional office in Bristol and plans for a raft of new developments in the area.

The offices were officially opened by Barratt Developments group chief executive Mark Clare.

More than 65 Barratt Bristol staff have relocated into new offices in Aztec West and the city has also become the regional head office for Barratt West, reinforcing the importance of the Bristol area to the future of the five star housebuilder.

Regional managing director Chris Burton said the south west has become an increasingly crucial area of activity for Barratt and the investment in new regional headquarters is testament to the developer’s long term confidence in the region.

“We’re delighted to be making Bristol the regional headquarters and the new offices have been designed to accommodate growth in the future,’’ said Chris.

“We have been active in the Bristol area for many years with a wide range of successful developments and we have a number of exciting new projects in the pipeline which will build on the foundations we have built in the region.’’

The move to new premises coincides with plans for the launch of 27 major new developments in the region in the next 12 months which will see more than 2,250 new homes for the south west.

“We are currently seeing increased confidence in the housing market with developments such as ND10@The Zone, Charlton Hayes and Hanham Hall in Bristol proving particularly popular,’’ said Chris. “These sales together with initiatives such as Help to Buy have given the whole market a boost and we look forward to a successful future in Bristol and further afield.’’
