2025 Year in Review: A Year of Growth, Impact and Delivery
As we look back on 2025, it has been a standout year for our team defined by growth, collaboration, and the successful delivery of projects across multiple sectors.
2025 marked several significant milestones for the business:
• Celebrating 10 years in business with a team trip to Lisbon
• Moving into our new Harrogate studio
• Expanding into a larger Leeds office, reflecting continued growth
During 2025, the team worked on an impressive 160+ projects across RIBA Stages 0–7, while also undertaking the BRPD role on 107 of these, an area of work that continues to grow for us.
In addition to project delivery, we completed 231 hours of CPD and dedicated 81 hours to volunteering in support of charities and educational initiatives.
Giving back remained a key focus throughout the year. Through fundraising activities including our Quiz Night with Hexa we raised £2,505 for Yorkshire Children’s Charity, with a further £2,802.40 donated over the course of the year to a range of other charitable causes.
We were also delighted to welcome six new team members – Nick, Jack, Sunil, Andrew, Jaimie, and Rehan.
Beyond our business achievements, 2025 brought some very special personal moments, with Jack, Paul, and Chris each becoming dads and welcoming baby boys into their families.
Project Delivery Highlights

Care
The care sector continued to grow in 2025, with a strong mix of completed projects, schemes on site and a healthy planning pipeline.
During the year we delivered:
• 1 new-build care home, providing 32 beds and 6 apartments
• 2 refurbishment care homes, delivering 37 beds and 40 beds respectively
• 1 care home extension, expanding existing provision
We also commenced works on 1 new 35-bed care home currently on site.

Alongside project delivery, we’ve continued to grow our care sector client base and look forward to building on this momentum into 2026.
