It has been an eventful year at Baily Garner. We have been working hard to make sure we are always building success and delivering quality. Here is a snapshot of some of our achievements from 2021.

We were proud sponsors and contributors to The Better Procurement for Better Homes guide launched at The Housing Forum’s national conference in October.

Our innovations
We became a founding partner of unlock net zero – a new knowledge hub which focuses on the technologies, infrastructure and behaviour changes required to deliver net zero emissions in the future.
We produced, not one, but two practical toolkits. The first for achieving net zero in new build homes and the second for tackling the issue of retrofitting existing homes.

We won Best development (suburban and rural) at the Inside Housing Development Awards for our Blackfriars project with Rother District Council.
Our celebrations
We celebrated National Apprenticeship Week by introducing you to five of our great apprentices.
We recognised and celebrated colleagues who worked hard to receive their qualifications and professional memberships.
Our charity champions
We played a huge role in supporting so many worthy causes throughout the year. From foodbanks to sleepouts, to swimming challenges and the Clive Smith foundation to name a few.
And there were webinars, careers fairs, career assessment days, round tables, comment pieces, speaking events, conferences and lots and lots of recruitment to build a bigger, stronger team.
Time for a well-earned Christmas break! We will be closed from 12.30pm on Friday 24 December until 8am on Tuesday 4 January 2022.
We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
