Based in Northampton, Old England Homes Group Ltd (OEH Group) is a family-owned and -operated business specialising in the delivery of residential and mixed-used developments throughout the Midlands. It identifies opportunities where others may only see complications – particularly brownfield sites, former industrial premises, and underutilised buildings – leveraging creativity, patience, and a practical approach to unveil their true potential. In light of OEH Group being recognised within the Midlands Enterprise Awards 2026, we spoke to Operations Director Daniel Sutton to learn more. Best Residential Property Developer 2026 – Northamptonshire & Regeneration Specialist of the Year 2026 – Northamptonshire OEH Group’s mission is clear: to improve places, restore unusable and challenging sites back to glory, and create developments that people and communities can be proud of. Keeping the values of quality, integrity, regeneration, and legacy at the heart of everything they do, the team collaborate with local authorities, consultants, investors, and professional teams to bring derelict sites back into productive use. This involves managing everything from acquisition and planning right through to delivery and final handover for projects including heritage restoration, regeneration schemes, and new-build residential developments. “Regeneration sits at the heart of everything we do,” Daniel told us. “Whilst many developers focus on straightforward opportunities, OEH Group has built its reputation by taking on complex sites that require a hands-on and solutions-led approach. We particularly enjoy projects involving former industrial land, vacant buildings, and heritage assets where thoughtful redevelopment can genuinely improve an area whilst respecting its history.” A prime example of this is its Home Suite Home development in Rushden, where the former Birch Bros Bus Depot is being converted into 37 homes whilst preserving and restoring important parts of the original building and retaining part of the town’s heritage for generations to come. This is while it is also working on a Lawson Street development in Kettering, which is seeing the remodelling of an old brownfield site into a fresh residential community comprising 68 homes. Within the process, OEH Group’s contracting arm, S&R Northants Ltd, utilises a hands-on approach toward project delivery that ensures enhanced control over quality and decision making for the duration of the construction process. Operating in this integrated way allows the team to respond efficiently to challenges, maintain high standards, and ensure that the original vision for each development is fulfilled from start to finish. “Every site we take on is an opportunity to improve an area, solve a problem, and leave behind something that benefits the local community long after construction has finished,” said Daniel. “Many of the projects we deliver are sites that have stood vacant, underused, or overlooked for years. Seeing those locations transformed into places where people can live and build their futures is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.” Ultimately, there is no denying the importance of OEH Group’s regeneration work – and the role that responsible development can play in revitalising towns and communities across Northamptonshire. Being named Best Residential Property Developer 2026 – Northamptonshire and Regeneration Specialist of the Year 2026 – Northampton is testament to its incredible work and the dedication of the team and the trusted consultants, contractors, and partners they work alongside. “The two awards recognise not only our ability to deliver residential developments but also our commitment to restoring value to forgotten or underused sites,” commented Daniel. “As a family-owned and -operated business, we are particularly proud that these awards recognise not only the developments themselves but the approach behind them. Property development is ultimately about people, place, and legacy – and we believe those principles are reflected in the projects we deliver.” 2026 has been an exciting year for OEH Group – and it expects that momentum to continue. Looking ahead, its immediate focus will remain on the successful completion of its current developments, but the company will also keep actively pursuing further regeneration opportunities across Northamptonshire and the wider Midlands region. “With approximately 373 homes currently progressing through planning, development, and delivery, the business has a strong pipeline for future growth,” stated Daniel. “However, growth for us has never been about volume alone. We remain focused on maintaining quality, protecting our reputation, and ensuring every project receives the attention it deserves. If, in ten years’ time, local communities can look back at our projects and say that we improved the areas we invested in, respected the history of the sites we developed, and left behind a positive legacy, then we will consider that a success.” Contact: Daniel Sutton Company: Old England Homes Group Ltd Web Address: https://oeh.group Old England Homes Group Ltd
