Recently, they acquired their largest site yet with a 510 home development in Bristol.<\/p>\n<p>Simon Century, chief investment officer at Homes England, said: \u201cSmall and medium housebuilders play a vital role in building a diverse and resilient housing sector. Funding from Homes England will enable Allison Homes to expand its regional delivery, supporting the construction of more high quality, affordable homes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis financing deal is a prime example of how the Agency works collaboratively with both public and private partners to achieve our mission of building thriving communities that people can be proud to call home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ian Trinder, chief financial officer of Allison Homes, said: \u201cThis is a very exciting moment for our business as it shows real confidence from strong funding partners in our long-term growth plans. Regional homebuilders, like Allison Homes, play a crucial role in delivering the housing needed to meet local and national demand, while also investing in infrastructure, creating jobs and supporting the local economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImportantly, this financial package means we can continue our ambitious growth trajectory, whilst focusing on what matters most &#8211; building high-quality homes, creating places people are proud to live in, and being the homebuilder that people can trust.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the past year, we\u2019ve taken decisive steps to strengthen the business for the long term &#8211; investing heavily in land, regional growth, operational infrastructure, systems and our people. We\u2019ve also grown unit sales from 626 to 808 and revenue from \u00a3154m to \u00a3202m, with a significant focus on recurring partnership revenue alongside open market sales.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDelivering this during a challenging economic period has been no small task, and we\u2019re incredibly proud of what we\u2019ve achieved to date. The country continues to face a significant housing shortfall, and our sector has an important responsibility to help address it.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Homes England are continuing their growth policy<\/h3>\n<p>Homes England have started the new year strong by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/people\/new-homes-england-regeneration-leader-appointed\/158166\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">appointing John Reid to head their new National Hub for Regeneration.<\/a> He will fill this role as the executive director for technical capacity and coordination.<\/p>\n<p>The agency intends to use this new hub to boost their development process and housing delivery.<\/p>\n<p>Reid said: \u201cI \u2018m delighted to be joining Homes England\u2019s Executive Team at such an exciting moment for the organisation. I look forward to bringing my public-private sector and major programme experience to help shape the new operating model and to drive the partnerships and places that communities across the country want and deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, at the end of last year, the agency <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/new-homes-england-strategy-announced\/157881\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">published their new strategy<\/a> 2025-2030, which is designed to boost collaborations and creation of new sustainable homes.<\/p>\n<p>The new plan has six strategic objectives:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Significantly increase new housing supply and accelerate housing delivery across all tenures.<\/li>\n<li>Deliver the biggest increase in social and affordable homes in a generation.<\/li>\n<li>Unlock new institutional investment for housing and mixed-use schemes and deliver financial returns.<\/li>\n<li>Collaborate with partners and local leaders to enable development and regeneration that boosts local economic growth.<\/li>\n<li>Foster innovation and create market conditions to support a dynamic, diverse, and sustainable built environment and housing sector.<\/li>\n<li>Ensure homes are safe,\u202fsecure\u202fand decent, and residents are safeguarded.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new Homes England financing deal will fund further housebuilding for Allison Homes in the Midlands and South West.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":158295,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[908,276,1004,572],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-158293","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-planning-construction-news","8":"tag-economy","9":"tag-government","10":"tag-homes-england","11":"tag-housebuilding"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Homes England financing package to fund SME housebuilders<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A new Homes England financing deal will fund further housebuilding for Allison Homes in the Midlands and South West\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/homes-england-financing-package-fund-sme-housebuilders\/158293\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Homes England financing package to fund SME housebuilders\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A new Homes England financing deal will fund further housebuilding for Allison Homes in the Midlands and South West\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/homes-england-financing-package-fund-sme-housebuilders\/158293\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
