Never underestimate the power of making a lasting impression!   When Nichola and Neil visited our Sketchley Gardens site, they were surprised to find Mick Wale there. Mick had been the site manager for their previous new build purchase, and they had been thoroughly impressed by his professionalism and the quality of the build.   After discussing their needs, Mick showed them the 5-bed Buckingham. They were immediately taken by the space and layout, and knowing Mick was now with Crest Nicholson as site manager gave them full confidence in the quality of the build and service. This reassurance led them to reserving the home.   Now settled in, Nichola and Neil are delighted with their new home and the exceptional customer experience they've received.

Today around 170 Crest Nicholson staff will be taking part in our annual Charity Challenge; trekking across the Warwickshire countryside, walking either 13k, 26k or 35km to raise money for our charity partner Young Lives vs Cancer. Good luck to everyone who's taking part! If you would like to show your support for our teams you can donate here: https://lnkd.in/e4cyFvz2

Lights, camera, action! We recently welcomed a production crew to our Whitehouse Park site in Milton Keynes to film a brand-new toolbox talk video. As part of our ongoing commitment to driving resource efficiency and reducing waste, this video highlights the best practices we expect across all of our developments and will play an important role in training our site based colleagues. Covering key areas, such as the waste compound, hazardous waste station and material reuse areas, the video content is another way we're equipping our teams with the knowledge they need to reduce waste and associated costs. A huge thank you to our team at Whitehouse Park, the film crew at Pictures for the People and our waste provider Reconomy.
