Midlands firm expands to commercial in shakeup

‘The commercial arm of the business will bring together our construction expertise, reputation for excellence and established supply chain’

A Midlands housebuilder is expanding into the commercial sector with its first industrial development. 

Horgan Homes has launched Horgan Commercial after securing planning permission for 16 industrial units off Buntsford Drive in Bromsgrove – with more commercial developments in the pipeline. 

The expansion into commercial is underpinned by a move to new offices at the Lydiate Ash Business Park in Bromsgrove from its former headquarters in Dudley. 

The construction firm has largely concentrated on residential builds since its inception more than 30 years ago, graduating to developments of homes in the £1 million bracket.  

The expansion signals a “new era” for the company, said director Sophie Horgan.  

“The commercial arm of the business will bring together our construction expertise, reputation for excellence and established supply chain to deliver high quality industrial facilities across the Midlands.  

“Demand for commercial property is high and we know that we can translate our skills in the residential sector to this market and deliver quality developments for the commercial sector.”
