Ice Cream on Hollins for Site Teams

As the second heatwave of Summer ‘22 hits the UK, Hollins Homes wanted to show their appreciation for construction teams and tradesmen on site; recognizing their continued efforts through all weathers!

31 degrees isn’t always pleasant when you don’t benefit from an air-conned office, so, in light of the recent extreme temperatures (coined ‘Costa Del North West’ by our Operations Director, Ben Goodman) Hollins arranged for all-you-can-eat free ice cream to be provided at every live site on Friday 12th August, in the peak of the heatwave.

Manchester-based ‘Happy Van’ and ‘Dotty About Ice Cream’ provided award winning ice cream to help cool everyone down.

Residents and site workers tucked in to flake 99’s and ice lollies: see below for the reactions...

We’ve Been Nominated for 2 new Awards

We’re over the moon to be shortlisted for another 2 awards.

Hollins Homes has been shortlisted as ‘Developer of the Year’ at The Northern Housing Awards.

Launched in 2018 the awards have grown to one of the regions largest housing awards.

Much has happened in those four years, but one thing that has remained constant is the pool of talented and dedicated people who continually strive to make our corner of the country a better place.

From housing associations to local authorities, contractors to suppliers, there is not one part of our sector that doesn’t deserve recognition - especially given the unique times in which we find ourselves. The awards are on the 17th May at Emirates Old Trafford, Lancashire Cricket Club.

We're keeping our fingers crossed!

Our second nomination is for our Woodlands development in Lancashire which has been shortlisted for 'Larger Housing Scheme of the Year' at the Cowgills North West Homebuilder Awards.

Thank you to everyone involved, we're delighted to see The Woodlands recognised and have our fingers crossed for 9th June.

Good luck to everyone who's been shortlisted.

2 New Schemes

This month we are announcing 2 new schemes coming soon!

Both are in the stunning county of Lancashire. At Hollins Homes, we pride ourselves on carefully selecting semi-rural locations, where our homes can be created with more space between each dwelling. Giving our buyers a more spacious community.

The first to be announced is Riverside Walk, in the picturesque town of Garstang. This is a collection of 3, 4 and 5 bedroom luxury homes, nestled in the beautiful countryside.

The second is Galloways Reach. A stunning new development of 3, 4 and 5 bedroom luxury homes, located in the inspiring countryside of Galgate.

Why Lancashire?

With its beautiful outdoor spaces and fantastic schools, there’s an abundance of reasons that Lancashire is the place to be.

Lancashire is a great place to raise a family, with access to fantastic primary and secondary schools and also a range of top universities.

In the small villages outside the cities of Preston and Lancaster, there is also a greater sense of community and friendly atmosphere. Perfect for young families trying to find a place to settle.

Let's escape! If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city? Look no further than Lancashire – known for its ‘green and pleasant land’

Close to the wonderful Lake District and the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales, you’re never far away from a picturesque walk or traditional pub roast. Enjoy a Sunday stroll or longer country hike.

Are you a foodie? A theatre buff? Or a football fan? Whatever your tastes, Lancashire has access to it all. Connected to the bustling cities with some of the biggest venues, there’s never a dull moment.

With great restaurants, bustling nightlife and fantastic sport teams, there’s something for everyone.
