Having built a range of three, four and five bedroom homes at its new Hutchison Gate development located just a 2 minute drive from the town centre, the housebuilder sponsored the Newport community’s Christmas celebrations. Emma Hodgkinson, Sales Advisor for Bloor Homes at the development, joined Town Clerk Joanne Reay ahead of the official lights switch-on.

Angie Prince, Sales Director for Bloor Homes’ Midlands region, said: “We thoroughly enjoyed being part of this years’ Christmas Lights Switch On event. The display looked excellent and the turn out from the local community was brilliant, as always. Sponsoring community events and working with the local councils where we build is something we prioritise across our developments in the Midlands, and we look forward to working with other organisations such as the Newport Foodbank over the festive period, as a means of supporting the community that neighbours Hutchison Gate.”

Joanne Reay, Newport Town Clerk, said: “We are always grateful to the local businesses that sponsor and support the events we put on in Newport, and this year’s Christmas Lights Switch On was a great success. Thank you to the team at Bloor Homes for the donation, it was great to have you on board to celebrate the festive season with our community.”
