How can the planning system help the UK Government deliver 1.5 million homes?   In last week’s Budget, Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves reiterated the Government’s commitment towards building 1.5 million homes during Labour’s first five years in power. But as previous governments have struggled to deliver similar numbers of homes – is this target realistic?   Gleeds’ Head of Development, Paul Dennison, delves into the planning challenges that have previously held back housing growth, and what the Government and construction industry can do to reach these ambitious numbers.   Read Paul’s thoughts: https://lnkd.in/eBbguNxa

🌈 Celebrating Pride in Atlanta! 🌈   On 13 October, our Atlanta team joined the Pride Parade for the third consecutive year! Held in Midtown Atlanta, the event was a day of celebration, unity, and support for the LGBTQ community.   Bringing this day to life took weeks of planning, from designing custom Gleeds giveaways like t-shirts, stickers, hand fans and more. In June, the team also raised $400 for the Atlanta Pride Committee, supporting their work in promoting equality and inclusivity.   HR Generalist and Officer Manager, Juliana Rezende expressed: “I’m extremely proud that Gleeds walked in the Atlanta Pride Parade for the third year in a row. The energy on the day was electric, full of love and joy. The LGBTQ community is home for me! Celebrating this community sends an important message that family, friends, and colleagues deserve to authentically be themselves, loud and proud!”   A special thank you to our dedicated team members—Stuart Lumsden, Brittani Byers, Rachel Nix King, Juliana Rezende, Klaudia Kawa, Victor Gasca, Jacob L., Aaron S., Chris Adams MSc, Kasey Polzin, Suzan Talley, LEED AP, PMP—as well as former employees, Joshua Mitchell and Will Jones, for helping make the day unforgettable. We’d also like to thank the friends and family of our fantastic team for joining in on the celebrations.   #PrideParade #PrideAtlanta #LGBTQ
