Skipton Properties Reaches Finals of National Building & Construction (NBCA) Awards

We are thrilled to announce that our close-knit, family-run business has reached the prestigious National Building & Construction Awards finals. It is with immense pride that we share our selection as finalists in two esteemed categories: Residential Developer of the Year and Sarah’s nomination for the Women in Construction Award.

As a close-knit, family-run business, Skipton Properties has been driven by a heartfelt passion for fostering vibrant communities since its establishment in 1986 by the late Brian Verity. Over the years, the company has reshaped the landscape of new home construction, consistently exceeding expectations by delivering exceptional homes that stand out for their quality and inclusive specifications.

Being considered for the esteemed title of Best Residential Developer is truly an honour for us. We firmly believe that our commitment to excellence and our dedication to creating thriving communities make us deserving contenders for this accolade.

One notable testament to our commitment to preserving vibrant communities is the Ebor Mills, Haworth, development. This project showcases a delicate balance between old and new, paying homage to the site’s rich heritage. The inclusion of historical features, such as the Economiser, Boiler House, and two mill buildings, has added unique character to the development. Our dedication to designing in harmony with the site’s history is evident in the creation of house types that mirror the iconic North light industrial style.

Additionally, Skipton Properties takes great pride in Sarah’s nomination for the Women in Construction Award. Sarah, the Managing Director of the family’s business, has made significant contributions over the past four years, leading the company into the present day with her innovative vision. Sarah’s leadership during challenging times has been remarkable. Despite a slowdown in financial results, We have made substantial investments in processes, team development, and land portfolios, and, despite an uncertain mortgage market, we remain confident that our unique and thoughtful homes, featuring high specifications, will continue to be a secure investment for customers.

We are proud of our heritage and commitment to building better homes. With a large proportion of employed staff, the company operates differently from its competitors, allowing for quicker construction with tighter controls. It’s our dedication to quality and customer satisfaction that has propelled it to the finals of the National Building & Construction Awards.

“We are truly honoured to be named finalists in the National Building and Construction Awards.” Said Sarah Barraclough, Managing Director. “This recognition reflects our team’s hard work, commitment to excellence and dedication to creating thriving communities. We extend our congratulations to all the finalists and look forward to seeing you all in November.”
