Stanley named as finalist at Northern Housing Awards 2025

Stanley Land and Homes is proud to have been shortlisted for a third consecutive year for an award that recognises organisations that have made a significant contribution to the region’s housing sector.

We’ve been shortlisted in the SME of the Year category at the coveted Northern Housing Awards, due to take place in Manchester on Thursday May 1.

It’s the same award we won in 2023 and were also shortlisted for again at the 2024 edition of the Northern Housing Awards.

Chris Curtis, director of Stanley, commented: “In the last few years we’ve been able to get more than 900 new homes completed or in planning across the region on behalf of registered housing providers, offering new affordable housing opportunities for over 3,100 people.

“It’s a record we’re very proud of and we’re delighted our contribution has been recognised once again by the Northern Housing Awards judges. We can’t wait to celebrate the collective success of our housing sector with our peers next month and we wish the best of luck to all the nominees.”

The annual Northern Housing Awards, launched in 2018, celebrate innovative affordable housing providers, projects and services that help to create communities in the North of England.

The annual event is attended by around 750 people from registered providers, local authorities, housing contractors, professionals, consultants, and charities.

Stanley adds 170 new affordable homes to pipeline

Affordable housing developer Stanley Land and Homes has revealed plans to deliver an additional 170 new homes on six sites across the North West.

Stanley is working up the schemes in readiness for the new Homes England funding programme which is expected to be announced this summer.

Formed in 2017, Stanley has already accrued more than 900 new homes completed or in planning across the region on behalf of registered housing providers, providing new housing for over 3,100 people.

In addition to its immediate pipeline of new homes, the developer has secured two new sites in St Helens, two sites in Wigan, one in Salford, and one in Cheshire West.

Chris Curtis, director of Stanley, said: “With a number of our existing schemes either on site or coming towards completion, our focus over the last 12-months has been on securing new sites that can support the development plans of registered providers.

“With an announcement on the next five-year Affordable Homes Programme expected from government soon, we’re excited at the prospect of using our pipeline of new sites to help them deliver new affordable housing options in the region.”

Stanley is encouraging registered providers to engage early to secure schemes that would be ready to start on site at the commencement of the new Affordable Homes Programme in April 2026.
