Home builder recognised for making a difference in the community

Speaking about the award win, Geoff Scott, Social & Economic Impact Manager for Keepmoat Homes in the North East said: “We’re very proud to have won both awards, which recognise our work throughout the year. At Keepmoat we’re focused on more than just bricks and mortar, we strive to work with and support the communities around all our developments in order to deliver a positive impact.

“We would like to thank all the schools, colleges, community groups and partner organisations throughout the North East who have worked with us so far and we look forward to continuing and growing these relationships in the future.”
