ABERDEENSHIRE housebuilding and construction firm Bancon Group is marking the start of its 50th anniversary celebrations by sponsoring a key element of this year’s Homes for Scotland (HFS) Annual Lunch & Awards.
The event also marks Homes for Scotland’s 25th anniversary and will take place at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre on Friday 30 May, with more than 650 sector leaders and guests already confirmed to attend.
Bancon is sponsoring the ‘In Conversation’ session featuring architect, author, broadcaster, and campaigner George Clarke, best known for hosting TV programmes such as The Restoration Man, Old House, New Home and George Clarke’s Remarkable Renovations. He will be discussing the concept of ‘home’ and the importance of delivering more high-quality housing across Scotland.
Established in 1975, Bancon Group has grown from a modest estate joinery business into one of Scotland’s leading housebuilding and construction groups. Today, it encompasses Bancon Homes, Bancon Construction and Deeside Timberframe, delivering residential developments, large-scale commercial projects, and timber frame solutions for both private and public sector clients.
Jamie Tosh, MD of Bancon Homes and Bancon Construction, said, “As we celebrate our own 50th anniversary, we are honoured to support Homes for Scotland and its vital work in advocating for the delivery of more homes. Sponsoring this flagship event is a reflection of our ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality private and affordable homes and sustainable communities across Scotland, with a focus on excellence, contemporary design and sustainable building practices. We look forward to engaging with industry peers and celebrating our shared achievements.”
Homes for Scotland chief executive Jane Wood added, “We are delighted at Bancon Group’s support for our Annual Lunch & Awards which has extra special importance this year as we mark Homes for Scotland’s 25th anniversary. One year on from the declaration of a national housing emergency, Scotland is still struggling to deliver the range and choice of homes that it needs for the country’s social wellbeing and economic success. We will be reflecting on this with George Clarke during discussion as well as recognising the best practice and high quality development taking place across the country through our awards.”
