Nurture Group Expands with 49th Acquisition, Welcoming Environmental Specialists Hortech

Kenneth Booth September 10, 2024

The Nurture Group has strengthened its position in the environmental services sector with the acquisition of Hortech Limited, a leading provider of environmental solutions based in Stone, Staffordshire. This marks the group’s 49th acquisition, further enhancing its sustainability and service offerings across the UK. Founded in 1987, Hortech operates a network of regional depots throughout England, Wales, and Scotland. The company boasts an £8.5 million turnover and employs over 100 staff, delivering bespoke services such as grounds maintenance, invasive weed control, arboriculture, and pest control to a wide range of clients in sectors including utilities, telecoms, industrial, and facilities management. Peter Fane, Executive Chairman and Founder of the Nurture Group, hailed the acquisition as a significant step in bolstering the group’s environmental credentials. He commented: “As a carbon-neutral business, proud to comply with the global PAS 2060 standard, this acquisition is the perfect fit as we continue to strengthen our environmental service offerings across the UK.” This deal follows closely on the heels of Nurture Group’s acquisition of Spacecare Ltd in July. Fane added: “We are delighted to welcome Hortech Limited to the Nurture Group family. Their arboricultural expertise aligns seamlessly with our recent acquisition of Gristwood & Toms, expanding our reach in northern England and Scotland. Hortech’s diverse range of services, including invasive weed control, complements and enhances our current offerings.” “Hortech’s renowned ‘can-do’ attitude, strong commitment to health and safety, and dedication to staff training further solidify Nurture Group’s reputation as the leading consolidator and acquirer of choice in the market,” Fane continued. “This acquisition allows us to continue building a national presence across all our core services.” Hortech Director Duncan Jones expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, saying: “At Hortech, we pride ourselves on providing tailored solutions and outstanding service, drawing on our deep industry expertise. We share Nurture Group’s passion for delivering excellence, and our portfolio aligns perfectly with theirs, particularly in the northern regions where Nurture’s operations have recently grown.” “Both companies share common values of teamwork, respect, and integrity, making this partnership a natural fit for us,” Jones added.

Investment hotspots: The top five areas of London for buy-to-let property revealed

Investment hotspots: The top five areas of London for buy-to-let property revealed

Kenneth Booth September 10, 2024

New research has revealed the London boroughs where buy-to-let landlords currently looking to invest can generate the best returns. Drawing on the latest house price and private rental data, property analysts at SBA Property Management have identified Tower Hamlets as the highest-yielding borough for rental returns. With average property values of £456,375 and monthly rental costs of £2,244, the inner London borough offers buy-to-let investors yields of 5.9% — significantly higher than the London average at 4.81%. Another area for investors to target is Southwark, which has average house prices of £476,177 and private rents of £2,219, yielding returns of 5.59%. Other opportunity areas identified by SBA Property Management are Newham, Barking & Dagenham and Greenwich, offering average rental yields of 5.23%, 5.06% and 4.96% respectively. The news comes shortly after interest rates were cut by the Bank of England for the first time since March 2020, setting the stage for mortgage costs to fall over the coming months. With further cuts forecast in 2025, property investors will be in an even stronger position to buy. Habib Mogul, Director at SBA Property Management, commented: “After several years of uncertainty, London’s property market is again shaping up to be one of the UK’s most attractive investment opportunities. Falling mortgage costs and stable property prices combined with high demand for rental accommodation means buy-to-let property in particular offers great potential for returns. “Historically, large deposits and borrowing costs have been a barrier for buy-to-let landlords looking to invest in the capital. However, our research shows that many of the highest-yielding areas are those with the lowest property prices, reducing the initial investment needed to secure a piece of London’s lucrative property market.” Average house prices in the five boroughs identified by SBA Property Management are below the London average, with Barking & Dagenham and Newham being two of the three most affordable boroughs for property investors. In Barking & Dagenham – the London borough with the cheapest house prices – buy-to-let landlords would only need £51,060 for a typical 15% deposit to start earning above-average returns on their investment. Tim Darwall-Smith, Director at SBA Property Management, said: “In recent years, we’ve seen London’s property market buck the trend of rising house prices seen across the rest of the country. At the same time, rental costs in the capital have surged, putting buy-to-let landlords in an advantageous position. “The easing of mortgage costs brings more relief to buy-to-let landlords, freeing up resources to make value-boosting renovations and deliver a better tenant experience. Ultimately, the investors with well-managed properties will be best placed to benefit from London’s highly profitable rental market.” To find out more about SBA Property Management’s services, visit: https://sbaproperty.com/.

O’Dowd welcomes new era for public transport as Belfast Grand Central Station opens

O’Dowd welcomes new era for public transport as Belfast Grand Central Station opens

Kenneth Booth September 10, 2024

Infrastructure Minister John O’Dowd has welcomed a new era for public transport as services begin to be phased in at Belfast Grand Central Station. Bus stands at the new world class transport hub became operational this week in the first phase of opening. Set to be Ireland’s largest integrated transport hub, the new facility will advance the transformation of public transport with a step change in customer experience. A date for the commencement of rail services will be confirmed once the rail safety authorisation process is complete.  That important and necessary process is continuing and will be finalised as soon as possible to enable train services at the new station to get underway. Public Realm work to put a clear focus on allocation of road space to pedestrians, cyclists and public transport around the station will continue in to 2025. Speaking as he opened Grand Central Station as bus services begin to operate, John O’Dowd said: “This is truly a new era for public transport here in Belfast and across the north and indeed the island of Ireland.  This new flagship station is iconic as well as historic and it signals our intent in relation to our climate commitments and our focus on transport decarbonization.   There is no doubt that this is an impressive facility with the space to cater for up to 20million customer journeys per year, with 26 bus stands and double the number of rail platforms from four to eight.  With 200+ spaces for bicycles, we are focused on encouraging more active travel and providing passenger facilities and services that deliver an enhanced user experience. “This is an example of the importance of infrastructure and the transformative changes my department can deliver.  I would like to thank everyone who has worked tirelessly on this project to make this happen and bring the vision of Ireland’s largest integrated transport hub to reality.”  Chris Conway, Translink Group Chief Executive said: “We are excited to be opening this modern major transport interchange this week.  With advanced customer features and integrated networks, it offers huge opportunity to grow public transport driving economic development across the region and play a major part in tacking the climate emergency.  That means a better-connected future for people and communities for generations to come.   “I would like to thank the Minister and his Department for the funding and the wider NI Executive for their support in designating this as a Flagship Project.   “I would also like to thank the Translink team and the contractors for their commitment and dedication to get this project to this key stage”. Duane McCreadie, Project Director for Farrans Sacyr JV, said:  “The departure of the first bus from Belfast Grand Central Station this weekend has been a proud moment for the FSJV team who have worked hard to deliver this first operational phase on time. “There has been a true sense of collaboration on this project since day one and we have worked closely alongside Translink, Babcock and our local supply chain to meet the challenging construction programme. This is an impressive building which has been built for the city of Belfast by local people who are invested in our region. We know that it will have wide ranging positive benefits for sustainable travel in Northern Ireland.”  Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals

Homes England goes to TOWN for Northstowe co-housing project Marmalade Lane developer to put people and planet at heart of new neighbourhood

Homes England goes to TOWN for Northstowe co-housing project Marmalade Lane developer to put people and planet at heart of new neighbourhood

Kenneth Booth September 9, 2024

Homes England has appointed profit-with-purpose developer, TOWN, to deliver a new cohousing community in Northstowe. Located eight miles northwest of Cambridge city, Northstowe is one of Britain’s most significant new towns under development. Following the success of its cohousing community – Marmalade Lane – in Cambridge, TOWN’s vision will bring together high-quality design, good placemaking principles, and a commitment to creating a close, connected community in Northstowe. The development parcel – plot 2D1 in the Northstowe masterplan – lies directly to the south of Northstowe’s future town centre. Earlier in 2024, TOWN undertook a successful market testing exercise, which highlighted a high level of interest in cohousing within the Greater Cambridge area. TOWN is now in the process of building a group of future residents, who, through a codesign process, will help to shape the new cohousing community. The scheme will include 40% affordable housing, together with a range of communal spaces and facilities. Jonny Anstead, Founding Director at TOWN, said: “At Northstowe, we want to create a place where residents know and support their neighbours, and share spaces and resources to live more sustainably. The benefits of cohousing are clear: it allows people to live happier, less isolated lives, fosters a real sense of community and enables residents to share resources and reduce their environmental impact. And in delivering a new cohousing community here at Northstowe, our aim is to support Homes England in shaping a unique, thriving and diverse community with more sustainable ways of living at its heart.” The project once more sees TOWN collaborating with Mole Architects and builds on the success and learnings from Marmalade Lane, a 42-home cohousing development in Orchard Park, Cambridge, delivered by TOWN and completed in 2019. Celebrated as an exemplar for new housing in the UK, that project currently has a waiting list of over 400 households – enough to fill the development another nine times over. TOWN has recently published Insights from Marmalade Lane, a post-occupancy report that highlights the impact that the development has had on the lives of its residents and the social value it continues to generate for them and the wider community. This aligns with Northstowe’s ethos of being a place centred around wellbeing and sustainability. A key finding of the report is that the environmental, social, and economic benefits of Marmalade Lane collectively generate over a million pounds in social value. Matthew Brown, Head of Development at Homes England, also commented: “Homes England is committed to making Northstowe a vibrant and successful place. A key component of this will be to provide a diverse range of housing types and tenures. Building on our existing Market and Affordable Homes – including Northstowe Discount Market Sale Homes for first-time buyers – cohousing will make a valuable contribution to this mix. “Appointing TOWN is a great next step in Northstowe’s journey, and we’ll be working to support the developer in bringing forward proposals for an exciting housing development which champions community at its core.” Homes England is master developer for phases 2 and 3, the final phases of Northstowe. Over the next 20 years, Northstowe will be transformed into a thriving community of around 10,000 new homes and approximately 25,000 people. TOWN is committed to supporting Homes England and its local partners in realising this long-term vision for the new town.

Studies show that areas steeped in history enjoy stronger economic performance, with GDP growth linked to such heritage-led projects. One Founders Place is a prime example of how a development can harmonise the past with the future, combining industrial legacy with eco-conscious design. The building promises to deliver exceptional workspace, with floor-to-ceiling windows allowing natural light to flood the offices, and outdoor terraces offering panoramic views of the city. State-of-the-art, all-electric heating and cooling systems, along with on-site renewable energy solutions and passive solar shading, will support the building’s sustainability goals. Designed to Well Building Standards, the office prioritises both the wellbeing of its occupiers and environmental impact. Developed by igloo Regeneration and Thriving Investments in partnership with Newcastle City Council, One Founders Place is the centrepiece of the wider £137 million Stephenson Quarter regeneration. Joe Broadley of igloo Regeneration commented: “One Founders Place sits on a historic site with deep industrial roots. Our aim was to honour the Stephenson legacy while incorporating the latest in technology and sustainability.” Alex Hay from Newcastle City Council hailed the development as a key driver of the city’s future, contributing to the growth of a green economy that respects Newcastle’s proud heritage. Knight Frank, the agents tasked with securing a pre-let partner, described the development as a unique opportunity for businesses that value sustainability, employee wellbeing, and a distinctive workspace. Located in the lively Stephenson Quarter, One Founders Place boasts excellent transport links via the Tyne and Wear Metro and is surrounded by popular hospitality spots like the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Gin Bar, and The Arches Beer Street Micropub. Its close proximity to Newcastle’s cultural and retail hubs adds to its appeal for businesses seeking a prestigious and accessible location.

Kenneth Booth September 9, 2024

Reynaers Aluminium UK, a leading supplier of sustainable architectural aluminium systems, has unveiled a new RIBA-approved Continuing Professional Development (CPD) seminar focused on curtain walling systems.   This comprehensive program, titled “The Best of All Possible Worlds – How Curtain Walling can help meet the needs and demands of architecture and construction in the 21st Century,” offers architects an in-depth understanding of using curtain walling to meet modern design objectives.  The CPD was crafted by an architect for architects, the architect being Paul Iddon, Vice President of the Manchester Society of Architects.  This new seminar provides an overview of the evolution of curtain walling in response to the changing needs of the architecture and construction sectors.
