Where are Harron Homes based?
Harron Homes operates from two main regional offices, one in Leeds serving Yorkshire and another in Barlborough near Chesterfield covering the North Midlands.
In May 2024, the company appointed James Poynor as Group Managing Director. James previously held senior roles at national housebuilders including Taylor Wimpey and Barratt, and has brought fresh strategic direction and an emphasis on customer experience. Later in 2024, Harron Homes Yorkshire welcomed a new regional Managing Director, Neil Reaney.
What kind of homes do Harron build?
Harron Homes are primarily aimed at families, with specifications that appeal to buyers seeking both quality and space for their growing families. Properties typically range between 3 to 5 bedroom homes, with some developments offering 2 bed properties and bungalows.
Harron Homes and sustainability
Recent Harron developments feature energy efficient technologies such as air source heat pumps and electric vehicle charging points as standard. The company has also partnered with suppliers such as H+H to integrate modern cavity wall solutions, to reduce heating costs and lessen heat loss.
Community and environmental planning
Harron Homes has placed a growing emphasis on community and environmental planning. Many of its developments are designed with extensive green infrastructure, incorporating features such as orchards, ponds, play areas and dedicated walking routes. Biodiversity gains and public spaces are increasingly central to site layouts.
