Persimmon Homes
In 1972, Persimmon PLC was
established. Persimmon took a step to make their business
much larger when in 2001 they made an offer for the Beazer
Group. Beazer Group was a leading house building company in
the UK and on March 13th the acquisition was complete. Persimmon
was now twice as big. Each year they sell between 12,000 and
13,000 homes.
Persimmon is based
in Fulford York. They have over 4000 employees. There are
33 regional offices. There is also a Persimmon’s Charles
Church division. They build homes
that range in price anywhere up to £2 million. Some
of the homes are traditional styles and others modern.
Persimmon has over 400 developments.
They build homes throughout the country from Scotland to the
South West of England. Their homes come in various styles.
Persimmon builds bungalows, detached houses with two to three
bedrooms and also 3-5 bedroom detached houses. They build
luxury apartments as well.
At Persimmon Group, they
have both in house experts and expert consultants. With everyone
working together, they are able to create quality homes. These
homes reflect the character of the areas in which they are
built. Each home is built according to high standards that
everyone at Persimmon works to uphold.
Persimmon Group is dedicated
to building quality homes that compliment the areas where
they are located and that also reflect the personality of
the buyer. They care about their customers and also their
employees. This group also cares about the communities where
they build. They also reach out to help charity groups. For
example, Persimmon Group supports the Breast Cancer Care charity.
They have been raising money for this charity, and to date
they have raised over £500,000. At Persimmon Group they
say, “We don’t just build houses; we help build
communities.
