Housebuilder to boost workforce during landmark year

Housebuilder Beal Homes has launched a major recruitment drive to support the delivery of a series of developments in a landmark year for the business.

The family-owned company is aiming to hire up to 50 staff across all departments by the end of 2018.

This year Beal marks 50 years in business, and the recruitment campaign will increase Beal’s directly-employed workforce to more than 150.

With several significant schemes already in progress, Beal launched Kings Vale, the latest phase of the company’s development of Kingswood Parks in Hull, earlier this year, and, more recently, unveiled another new project The Paddocks in Hessle.

Construction is also well under way on a residential development in Hull’s Fruit Market, featuring 101 two and three bedroom homes arranged in mews style around four private courtyards.

Beal is working with Hull-based regeneration company Wykeland Group in the Wykeland Beal joint venture to drive forward the regeneration of the Fruit Market.

Chairman and managing director Richard Beal said: “We’re looking for great people in a broad range of roles to come on board and contribute to our continuing growth.

“We want people who share our values of integrity, teamwork and innovation, our passion for delivering homes as unique as our customers and our commitment to exceptional levels of customer service.

“If you’re looking for a successful local business where you can make a difference, develop your skills and fulfil your potential, get in touch.”

Beal construction director John Goodfellow said: “We have long-term sub-contractors but, primarily, we prefer to have a directly-employed construction workforce, which is unusual in the housebuilding industry and offers great job security.

“That means we can guarantee the highly-skilled people we need to deliver the quality of properties and exceptionally high standards of workmanship we expect and our customers choose us for.”
