Martin Phillips, Development Manager for Ongo, said: “We are honored that not just one, but two of our developments has been celebrated at such fantastic and widely recognised awards in the industry.

“It means a great deal to us that the homes we provide are of excellent quality and it’s great that we can compete with other major developers in the region.

“We have ambitious plans to work with more local contractors to build hundreds of homes each year for rent, shared ownership and outright sale. So be sure to keep an eye out for our latest exciting announcements.”

Ongo worked with local building contractor G S Kelsey Construction Ltd, BSB Architecture and DBA Management Consultants to design and deliver the homes on both sites.
