Highwood Group

What a fantastic way to wrap up the year! 🎄 Last week, Highwood Group gathered for our annual Christmas party—a special celebration marking not just the festive season but also our 20th anniversary! The evening was filled with a fantastic raffle, long service awards, a delicious dinner with a touch of magic, and cocktails and dancing that carried us late into the night! It was a joy to celebrate the milestones and successes of 2024 with the amazing people who make Highwood Group the thriving business it is today. Here's to the next 20 years! The office is now closed, re-opening on January 2nd 2025. Wishing everyone a joyful holiday season and a bright new year ahead. #ChristmasParty #20Years #TeamHighwood #Celebration

Celebrating outstanding achievements! We are thrilled to take a moment to recognise and celebrate two employee recognition awards this week!   Firstly, please join us in congratulating Sarah Collins on her outstanding achievements of being nominated for three finance awards. This is a true reflection of her hard work, dedication, and expertise. Celebrating at the Accounts Payable Association awards ceremony was a well-deserved acknowledgement of her commitment, and the positive impact she has on our team and the company as a whole.   Our second nomination was for Thomas Vaughan. It’s been just over a year since his promotion, and Tom has truly excelled in his role. Tom’s persistence and diligence have made a real impact—not just on project quality but also on the team. His reliability and high standards have been remarkable ensuring consistent excellence on the Moorhill project.   Thank you both for your unwavering dedication and the excellence you bring to your work. We are so proud to have you on our team! #employeerecognition #teamexcellence #highwoodgroup

Thank you to our team of consultants who worked hard and collaboratively to submit detailed planning yesterday for our Whitsbury Road, Fordingbridge scheme, containing a 70 bedroom care home and 8 dwellings.    This marks another milestone in the Hartford Care and Highwood Group journey, delivering best in class care homes in partnership that stems back over a decade.    Phillip Prosser, Managing Director of Highwood Homes "I am delighted to be working with Hartford Care once again, where we are building a steady pipeline of best in class facilities to meet the growing care demand along the South Coast. The partnership has been strengthened in recent years with 2 schemes currently under construction and several more in planning."   Kevin Shaw, Chief Executive of Hartford Care, added, “We’re excited to be working with Highwood again and delighted to add a new, state-of-the-art care home in Fordingbridge to our portfolio. This addition brings us to 22 homes and marks our tenth location in Hampshire. It allows us to extend our specialist care and welcoming, ‘home from home’ environment to even more individuals." #care #partnership #planning

Highwood working in partnership with Barchester Healthcare secures consent for another care led development. We are delighted to announce that we have just secured detailed planning permission for a 60 bed care home and 8 age restricted bungalows on a site in Storrington within Horsham District. This is a high quality scheme which had many challenges to address, but working closely with our partner, Barchester, in particular, Julian Burgess and his team, we have managed to secure a consent that will see us deliver a best in class care home to the residents of Storrington. However, none of this would be possible without our excellent consultant team in helping us to navigate our way through this process. Special thanks to Harris Irwin Architects, Paul Basham Associates, Deacon Design, Tetra Tech, The Environmental Dimension Partnership Ltd, Turley, James Fuller, and Wallingford HydroSolutions. We would also like to thank the officers at Horsham District Council for their willingness to engage in the process and for working collaboratively to reach this point. We look forward to starting on site in the new year. #Healthcare #Care #Planning 

Rowlands Castle Road, Horndean Delighted to announce that Highwood Homes have just secured detailed planning permission for 82 dwellings from East Hampshire District Council. This is the third consent we have received on this Local Plan allocation following our earlier consents for a care home (now open) and a care village (well on the way to completion). We believe it is really attractive and well thought out scheme that will be a very attractive place in which to live. Alongside our wonderful Highwood team, we would like to thank the whole consultant team for their significant contributions in reaching this milestone. In no particular order, the team was: KSA Architects, Deacon Design, Tetra Tech, Paul Basham Associates, James Fuller Arboriculture, Siteline, EDP, Turley, Connect It and BDP Pitmans. We would also like to thank Horndean Parish Council, the EHDC officers, other formal consultees and the two ward district councillors for their willingness to engage in the application process and the evolution of the design to the point where this significant application was able to be dealt with as a delegated approval.
