Neil McKay, Managing Director of Urban Union, said: “We’re pleased to end 2020 on a high by welcoming so many new faces to the Urban Union team. Each and every one brings with them a variety of skills and experience to their roles, making them fantastic additions to an already strong and cohesive team.”

At the heart of Urban Union’s approach is an unrivalled commitment to creating communities, not simply building new homes. This is achieved by working in close partnership with local authorities, housing associations, community groups and residents.

At Urban Union, we are dedicated to ensuring opportunities for people living in the areas in which it operates, supporting targeted recruitment, training and supply chain opportunities.
