One of the Midlands’ leading construction groups has unveiled ambitious plans to grow annual revenues to £400 million by 2030 as it continues to expand its footprint across the housing and construction sectors.
Burntwood-based Tara Group says a five-year growth strategy, combined with the recent launch of a strategic land promotion business, is set to drive the next phase of development for the company.
The group operates across housebuilding, affordable housing and civil engineering through its businesses Cameron Homes, Keon Homes and Chasetown Civil Engineering.
Julie Caudle, Chief Operating Officer, said the business was focused on building on recent success and creating a larger presence across the markets it serves.
She said: “We have exciting plans in place to grow the footprint of the group, with the recent launch of the strategic land promotion business and the execution of our five-year plan that will see us move towards £400m in annual revenues.”
Established in 2018, Keon Homes has delivered more than 1,000 homes across 20 communities, working closely with housing associations and local authorities throughout the Midlands. Cameron Homes is meanwhile on course to construct 200 homes this year across ten developments spanning Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Shropshire and Worcestershire.
The group’s expansion plans come alongside the achievement of B Corp accreditation by Cameron Homes and Keon Homes, while the group’s civil engineering business, Chasetown Civil Engineering, was also accredited earlier this month.
The accreditation follows a ten-month assessment process and recognises the group’s approach to governance, customer engagement, employee development and reducing environmental impact.
Julie said the achievement reflected a culture already established across the business.
She said: “Last year, we launched a new set of values called HEART, which are guiding principles that shape every big and small decision we make and help create an employee experience that people really value.
“This was a fantastic starting point for the B Corp assessment. It meant that the foundations and the culture were already in place, and we just had to fine tune certain areas, including accountability and how we report our positive impact.”
The assessment also highlighted the group’s wider community impact, including the charitable legacy of founder Noel Sweeney, which sees more than £500,000 donated annually to local good causes and community organisations.
Julie added: “B Corp is an important milestone in our journey, but we are not stopping there. Using the good practices demanded by the standard, we’ll continue to invest in meeting our ESG and Net Zero goals, as well as connecting even deeper with the local communities we operate in.”
