Warwickshire firm targets major growth after celebrating third anniversary
The team at a Warwickshire-based land, development and property firm toasted huge success after the business celebrated its third birthday.
Based at Stockton House, near Southam, Newton LDP has facilitated the transaction of more than £296 million worth of land with a further £148 million under offer.
The business, led by Managing Director Richard Foxon, has also advised on close to 5,000 acres of strategic land, with potential for over 30,000 new homes, and over 566 acres of strategic commercial development land.
The team is currently advising on approximately 20,000 acres after a significant growth in rural and agribusiness services so far this year.
With the construction of new homes a hot topic for Sir Keir Starmer’s new Labour government, the future looks especially bright for Newton LDP following the business’s recent anniversary.
But it’s not all planning briefs, land agency and balance sheets for the team, which has made time to support various charities and community organisations.
Over the past three years, more than £100,000 has been raised for charity. Over £84,000 was raised for the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution, through Newton LDP’s annual clay shoot, and the team walked 86 miles along Hadrian’s Wall in less than three days to raise over £19,000 for Birmingham Children’s Hospital. In addition, Newton LDP has also donated in excess of £49,000 of its profits to charitable causes.
Richard said: “Newton LDP has delivered so much to be proud of in our first three years, with many notable achievements as is highlighted by some incredible data.
“The fact we have transacted on more than £296 million worth of land, with a relatively small team, speaks volumes for what we have achieved so early in the company’s journey.
“Everyone at Newton LDP recognises just how important it is to support local charities and community organisations. So, to raise the sums we have, for such worthy causes, is especially rewarding for us all.
“As we celebrate this milestone, we’re delighted by all that we have accomplished to date and know many more opportunities lie ahead.”
Newton LDP set out to create, add and maximise value for clients without the day-to-day distractions and high staff turnover associated with many large corporate businesses.
Boasting a team of experts with an extensive network of contacts, Newton LDP dedicates itself to offering a bespoke, professional service from conception to completion for landowners, farmers, developers, housebuilders, land promoters, housing associations, charities, institutions and corporate clients.
Newton LDP expects its team to double in size over the course of 2024, from appointing consultants with over four decades of experience, to supporting school leavers through a rural degree apprenticeship in partnership with Harper Adams University.
The team looks forward to building on these successes and continued growth throughout the rest of 2024 and beyond.
