Churchill colleagues in Drayton celebrate national WhatHouse? Awards success
Colleagues at Dreton Lodge in Drayton are celebrating after Churchill Living achieved a top honour at the national WhatHouse? Awards 2025, winning Gold in the ‘Best Retirement Home Developer’ category for a third consecutive year.
The WhatHouse? Awards are widely recognised as the ‘Oscars’ of the UK house building industry. Presenter Gabby Logan was the host for the event which took place on Friday 21st November at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London and was attended by over 1,300 industry professionals.
The ‘Best Retirement Home Developer’ category recognises the best developers serving the later living sector, looking at a range of factors including overall commitment and contribution to the promotion and enhancement of retirement housing. Churchill’s success in this category for a third year running underlines the Company’s leading position in the sector, thanks to the quality of its developments across the country, including Dreton Lodge on Havant Road.
The judges’ report highlighted Churchill’s exceptional performance during a difficult year for the entire housebuilding industry, saying: “Churchill leads the way in later living, with its unwavering commitment to this sector – not just in the quality of developments it builds right across the UK, but in its tireless championing of the residential and social needs of older people.”
Spencer J McCarthy, Churchill’s Chairman & CEO, said: “Winning this accolade for a third year in a row is an incredible achievement which would not be possible without our fantastic team of people around the country. Recognition like this underlines the strength of our business, the quality of our product and the positive change we strive for on behalf of our sector. I’d like to thank everyone across the Churchill Group for the hard work that goes in throughout the year to help achieve this success.”
Dreton Lodge is a collection of low-maintenance, stylish and energy-efficient one and two bedroom retirement apartments for those who want to enjoy their independence with security and friendship in the heart of Drayton.
