Chamber members Fairgrove Homes and Nelsons are celebrating a joint award win after both businesses were named as winners in the Deal of the Year category at the East Midlands Bricks Awards 2019. The annual event brings together
construction professionals from across the region to celebrate the achievements and high standards set by both businesses and individuals within the building sector throughout the previous 12 months. Fairgrove Homes and Nelsons
put forward a joint entry for the Deal of the Year category following the successful purchase completion of the remaining land at the Brewery Yard development in Kimberley - formerly home to Hardys and Hansons Brewery and adjacent to Fairgrove’s Hansons View development.
‘It is fantastic to see this landmark deal recognised at such a prestigious event as the East Midlands Bricks Awards’
Nelsons represented Fairgrove
throughout the purchase process and both businesses were named as winners for a deal which has seen the successful preservation of several historic Grade II* listed buildings at the former brewery yard - including the kilns, kiln stores, tower and the maltings. Restoration of these buildings will see them converted into luxury dwellings and a business hub alongside a range of quality apartments, townhouses, semi- detached and detached homes in the sought-after location. This year’s glittering East Midlands Bricks Awards ceremony was held at Trent Bridge Cricket
ground, home of fellow Chamber member Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club. Fairgrove Homes’ Managing
Director Steve Midgley is delighted to see both companies take home the award for Deal of the Year - with the news proving testament to months of hard work that has guaranteed a bright future for the brewery yard. He said: “It is fantastic to see this landmark deal recognised at such a prestigious event as the East Midlands Bricks Awards - especially when you consider the high calibre of entries this year. “Throughout every stage of our work at the former Hardys and
Hansons Brewery, we have ensured wherever possible that the character and history that exists at the site is retained.” Vanessa Gregory, Sales and
Marketing Manager at Fairgrove Homes, sees the partnership with Nelsons as crucial to this success and is excited for the future of the development. She said: “We would like to
extend our sincere thanks to Nelsons because through close collaboration, the future of the historic Grade II* listed buildings has been successfully secured to the benefit of the local community of Kimberley.” Mary Gharmount, Associate
Commercial Property Solicitor at Nelsons, added: “This is a fantastic achievement for both organisations and we’re thrilled to have won the award as a partnership.”
