The Berkeley Group was founded in 1976. It rapidly became one of the UK’s leading residential developers and gained full listing on the London Stock Exchange in 1985. Over the past 12 years, Berkeley has transformed its business from being one of a number of national housebuilders to become a leader in urban regeneration and the renaissance of the towns and cities of London and the South East. We work through four main brands: Berkeley Homes, St George, St James and St Edward ? each with its own individual approach.

Berkeley’s success is driven by the passion, dedication and innovation of its people. The group’s philosophy is to devolve operational responsibility and accountability to autonomous management teams. At corporate level, our management teams are constantly challenged to improve and innovate in order to ensure we stay first in our sector.

We strive to be an equal-opportunities employer. In particular, we aim to ensure that all employees, potential employees and other individuals receive equal treatment (including access to employment, training and opportunity for promotion), regardless of their age, disability, ethnic or national origin, marital status, nationality, religion, race, sex or sexuality.

Sustainability is fundamental to our business and we were honoured in 2008 to be awarded the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the Category of Sustainable Development. In every project, we aim to create long-lasting, high-quality, environmentally sensitive living spaces where people can lead more sustainable lifestyles.

Delivering thousands of new homes each year has required management innovation to align our business strategy to the principles of sustainable development. Our innovative approach has been consistently recognised externally, most notably through being ranked first in the 2007, 2008 and 2009 NextGeneration benchmark of the UK’s top 20 housebuilders’ sustainability performance. In addition, in 2006 and 2007 we were named Sustainable Housebuilder of the Year and in 2006 Regeneration Housebuilder of the Year at the Building Awards. One of our strategic goals is to ‘operate in the vanguard of the urban regeneration industry by creating sustainable communities’.

Passionate people are the key to our success. The Group is always keen to recruit experienced, like-minded people to continually improve and fulfil its vision to remain the urban regeneration specialist in the UK.
