Anwyl Partnerships’ collaboration with Welsh Social Enterprise, the Goodwash Company, has realised a fantastic £1,000 charitable spend 12 months on.

The business opted to switch from a high street retailer at the end of 2018 to instead use the Goodwash co as its sole hand wash and lotion supplier. This first year of partnership as seen an annual spend of around £2,000, with all profits incurred being used to support two local charities.

The Goodwash Co specialises in the manufacturing and creation of luxury, natural skin care products underpinned by the ethos, ‘change the world, one wash at a time‘. Goodwash invest 100% of their profits into local projects which go towards improving the lives of those living in nearby communities.

Anwyl have opted for North Wales children’s hospice Ty Gobaith to receive 50% of the funding, whilst remaining funds have been projected into the Goodwash Foundation and used to support a local group for adults with learning difficulties, helping relaunch the weekly ‘Picasso club’ and football club.

We’re so pleased that we took the decision to switch to the Goodwash. One year on and we are able to really see the difference such a simple switch in something seemingly so minor in our business has made. This is a brilliant social enterprise that we are proud to support and we look forward to growing this partnership further, with some exciting ideas forming for the year ahead.”

– Natalie Palframan, Marketing & Community Engagement Executive at Anwyl Partnerships.

Thank you so much to Anwyl for their support, we very much look forward to building on the relationship further in 2020. The activities Anwyl are supporting really make so many people smile, their spends are making a massive difference.”

– Kelly Davies, Co-Founder of the Goodwash co.

Anwyl Partnerships, specialists in the provision of residential land and build developments, has commenced construction at its latest affordable housing scheme on the site of the former Edelweiss Hotel in Colwyn Bay.

The former hotel was demolished, making way for re-development. Work is underway to create 31 apartments including 14 one-bedroom and 17 two-bedroom homes, helping to bridge the housing gap in the area.

ClwydAlyn acquired the site several years prior and appointed Anwyl Partnerships as its preferred construction partner, marking the 3rd project Anwyl is currently on site with for the social housing provider.

The carefully designed development sits on a 0.5 acre site replacing what the derelict hotel, which has been subject to vandalism and anti-social behaviour for many years since closure in 2009.

This development is going to be a fantastic edition to Colwyn Bay, providing a number of quality homes for local people. We are underway with construction work and are expected to achieve completion in September this year.”

– Tom Anwyl, Managing Director of Anwyl Partnerships.

Throughout the construction programme, we will be working closely with ClwydAlyn to ensure that the work we carry out will have a lasting and positive impact on the local community through the creation of new jobs and training opportunities whilst boosting the local economy through utilising a locally sourced supply chain.”

Added Tom.

Initial stages of masonry are now underway with construction works focusing on the ground floor of the new building. The scheme included extensive enabling works prior to commencement of construction, providing stability to the site and adjacent areas and protecting the nearby woodland and river. A rock face on the site perimeter was carefully excavated and crushed, the waste material from which was used as fill for a ‘green’ retaining wall around the site boundary.

This is an exciting development in the town that demonstrates our on-going commitment towards the regeneration of Colwyn Bay as well as Conwy county and the surrounding area.
The development also helps address the shortage of quality affordable housing in Conwy, and we’re delighted to see construction under way with the support of Conwy Council and the Welsh Government.”

– Craig Sparrow, ClwydAlyn’s Executive Director of Development.

Anwyl Partnerships, specialists in the provision of affordable housing, extra care and land and build development, has revealed its strongest annual performance to date, securing a forward order book of £50million.

In 2019, the division took the decision to rebrand becoming, ‘Anwyl Partnerships’ (formerly Anwyl Construction) in a move that reflects the company’s changing strategic direction and wider business model.

The year also saw Anwyl Partnerships begin work on site at several major projects across the North West and North Wales including schemes which have been developed under their new land led approach which sees the firm acquire land, secure planning and deliver the build, partnering with a registered housing provider.

The Partnerships team was strengthened with a series of appointments including Senior Land Manager, Sam Oliver, who now heads up the Land function within the division, whilst the construction team has also been bolstered with a number of key appointments.

On site, 10 apprenticeships positions were created, whilst a host of community engagement initiatives reaffirmed Anwyl Partnerships commitment to support local people in the areas in which it works.

This has been an exceptionally strong year for Anwyl Partnerships. We’ve invested considerable time and effort in developing a new business model that will drive the business forward in a very specific direction. We are now beginning see the strategy in action and I’m pleased to say we are achieving all of our objectives, expanding across the North West and both collaborating with our longstanding clients and forging new partnerships to deliver quality affordable homes.

There are so many incredibly exciting opportunities ahead in 2020 and I look forward to continuing to work with our highly experienced team to achieve the long term goals and aspirations.”

Anwyl Partnerships submits plans for its latest development off Greenheys Road, Wallasey, Wirral.

Anwyl Partnerships, specialists in the provision of affordable housing, extra care and land and build developments, is partnering with a local housing association to deliver the development, which will include 53 affordable modern retirement living apartments, set within extensive landscaped grounds and private gardens.

It’s great to be involved in the redevelopment of a prominent brownfield site so close to the heart of Wallasey, where the former and vacant NHS care home buildings will make way for 53 affordable modern fit for purpose retirement living apartments.

There is a clear identified need for this type of accommodation in Wallasey and once constructed it will free up existing affordable family housing stock as new residents move in from the local area. All of the apartments will be affordable and prioritised for local people and be delivered in conjunction with our housing association partner.

This development forms part of the company’s wider strategic direction and commitment in delivering land led partnership projects with our housing association partners in England and Wales. We continue to work with the Council to deliver an exceptional scheme and plan to be on site summer 2020.”
