Winner: Mount Anvil

London-based Mount Anvil has invested substantial resources in a small number of projects where it says it can offer a compelling value-added proposition to landowners while creating homes and communities. In June the mayor of London provided the company with a sizeable loan facility, creating a partnership that is the first of its kind between GLA Land and Property and a private developer. The mayor’s backing will enable Mount Anvil to accelerate construction of the next 2,000 homes in its pipeline and continue the rapid expansion of land-buying activity as part of its strategy to deliver 10,000 homes in London by 2030.

The group continues to employ modern methods of construction to minimise waste and decrease on-site hazards, while its new Makers and Mentors scheme will focus on helping young people maximise their potential. And last year Mount Anvil partnered with Bouygues UK, Tower Hamlets council and Women into Construction to develop a bespoke introduction to construction course focused on encouraging more women to enter the industry.
