Our
Background
Our founding partners have worked in urban development for the past three decades.
We are part of the RSBG SE Group of 54 companies.
We work in partnership with Local Authorities to rethink and improve towns and cities around the UK.
Our Group includes development and construction-related companies set up to recycle profits into environmental and social protection.
We are able to provide debt funding alongside skills to take forward development projects.
What our partnership will mean for you
We listen and put forward innovative, flexible and forward looking solutions that will reflect the vision and the governance created by the economic, social and environmental frameworks.
At an early stage we will also establish a funding and finance strategy which could include debt, procured by UDP, and gap funding from government sources backed up by business cases.
Our
Philosophy
We are committed to driving forward inclusive growth and a long lasting legacy for places and their communities. This is strongly aligned to our personal values.
Our philosophy reflects that of our parent company and Foundation set up to secure the economic and social growth of former mining communities. Along with protection of the environment, the Foundation supports education, advances in science, refugees, and culture.
