Harron Homes has announced it has joined the Home Builders Federation as part of its strategy to raise standards and drive continuous improvement.
With a renewed “customer-first” approach, Harron is looking to fully engage with the HBF and its resources as it builds internal capability and puts customers firmly at the heart of its operations.
The announcement comes as the housebuilder launched its new, state-of-the-art office in Leeds, with HBF CEO, Neil Jefferson, in attendance for the official opening. The new premises, named Trueman House in honour of Yorkshire cricketing legend Fred Trueman, mark a new chapter for the business as the head office and Yorkshire regional functions are reunited.
Harron says that Trueman House offers a modernised, sustainable setting with an open-plan layout that promotes collaboration and communication, while a flexible meeting room also functions as a dedicated training space for internal development.
James Poynor, group managing director of Harron Homes, said: “Our move to Trueman House is about more than space, it’s about creating an environment where our people can thrive, collaborate and grow.”
“This investment is part of our ongoing journey to evolve our business and better serve our customers. We’ve already seen a shift in people’s attitudes and ambitions since the move, and we’re positive this investment will play a key part in keeping and attracting talented employees.”
“This move is a much-needed and timely step forward as we continue to scale our operations and strengthen our internal culture in our mission to become the most trusted regional housebuilder.”
Poynor continued: “We were thrilled to welcome Neil Jefferson to the launch of our new office. His presence was a great endorsement of the journey we’re on, and we’re grateful for his support as we continue evolving our business. Joining the HBF is an important move for us as we want to be proactive, not reactive, in the way we serve our customers and grow our teams.”
“We’re proud of where we’ve come from—but we’re even more excited about where we’re going.”
