Celebrating 90 years of thoughtful building

The year 2020 marks our 90th year in business, a milestone which we are proud to celebrate and pleased to share with our communities. Spending 90 years delivering high quality construction projects, creating communities and sustainable homes has given us much to be proud of and is something we strive to achieve for the next 90 years and beyond.

The Anwyl Group 

Anwyl Group began life in 1930 in Rhyl, North Wales, a father-son business initially operating as a joinery and woodworking contractor. The company has grown from strength to strength and today remaining as a fourth-generation family run company, with over eight decades of success behind us, we have evolved to become Anwyl Group with three distinct divisions: Anwyl Partnerships, Anwyl Homes and Anwyl Land.

The Partnerships Division 

In it’s infancy, the company began to deliver larger construction projects, specialising in retail and hospitality buildings, capitalising primarily on the growing resort town of Rhyl, and soon after expanding to work along the thriving North Wales coast of the era. In 1940, we expanded into house building, a successful venture which continues to form a large part of the Anwyl Group.

By the end of the 1980s the construction division had made a huge contribution to the success of Rhyl and the surrounding resort towns and was able to expand further, now having developed from shop fit-outs and refurbishments, into the delivery of projects including industrial extensions and new builds, as well as continuing to grow the housebuilding function. These projects went on to expand rapidly, both in scale, value and location, which has brought us forward to the Anwyl Group of today.

It is during 2019 that we evolved the construction services, re-branding to form the Partnerships Division. The partnerships focus is centred around building upon our long-standing relationships, formed via procurement frameworks whilst taking forward a new partner-led approach. This has allowed us to expand our business model to offer combined ‘land and build solutions’, primarily focusing on delivering projects within the affordable/social housing sector.

We remain proud of our North Wales heritage and will continue to contribute to the housing need, whilst as we expand our our business model, we look forward to also expanding our geographical reach to North West England.

Proud of our business

We have been honoured to win many prestigious national awards, including success at the UK Housing Awards, LABC Awards, Housing Innovation Awards, National Housebuilder awards and five-time consecutive winner of the RoSPA Gold award.

As well as continuing to create high quality, award-winning developments, we began to expand the business far beyond our original base in Rhyl, North Wales and, in 2016, relocated to a new purpose-built head office in St.David’s Park, bordering North West England.

As we approach our 90th birthday in 2020, we remain proud of our heritage and look forward to many more decades of thoughtful building in the future.
