Trebor selected for new Father Hudson’s HQ project

CharityHQTrebor Developments have kept up its strong recent run of securing new development projects with the announcement of an agreement with Father Hudson’s Society to develop a new HQ office for the charity, as part of a major redevelopment of its Coleshill site.

Working in partnership with long-standing clients Bellway Homes and McCarthy & Stone, Trebor has submitted a planning application for a new 10,000 sq ft office building, together with 74 new homes and a 39 apartment retirement scheme.

Father Hudson’sSociety will relocate its operationswithin the Coventry Road site into the new bespoke office premises that have been designed by Trebor to accommodate its 50-strong team together with space for partnerorganisations and a new chapel area.

Tim Bradford, Chief Executive of Father Hudson’s said, “We’re delighted to announce our partnership with Trebor Developments to deliver our new office project. We’ve been really impressed with their approach in understanding our requirements and designing a very attractive scheme.”

“Our Trustees and staff alike are very excited by the development and it will make a huge difference to Father Hudson’s as a charity. We want to stay at the site but the current layout of our buildings is really inefficient, the offices cost huge amounts of money to run and we have redundant buildings that cannot be brought back in to use economically.”

“From our consultations, we have a very clear view from local residents and community representatives that the old buildings should be replaced with new high quality development – something we’re now delighted to have submitted for planning approval.”

Mark Wright, Partner of Trebor Developments, said “We are well experienced in working with occupiers to understand their specific needs and to create attractive, flexible and value-for-money developments and we have established something of a specialism at working with Trusts and Charities.”

“There have been many abortive and unsuccessful attempts to bring forward a solution for Father Hudson’s over recent years but we feel that our joined-up approach between the Charity and the development team, combined with the experts we have recruited to help solve the challenges, sets this scheme apart.”

The scheme has recently been submitted for planning approval and it is anticipated that work on the office project will be underway this Autumn.
