MEET THE TEAM BUILDING WELBORNE
Over the last decade we have assembled an experienced in-house team to develop our vision for Welborne Garden Village. Together they have worked with selected renowned individuals and companies and collectively turning that vision into reality.
Buckland Development Ltd
Buckland is a Hampshire-based company founded in 2006 and the Master Developer of Welborne.

Mark Thistlethwayte, Chairman, Buckland Group
“With Welborne we have the opportunity to create an attractive and sustainable new community that is being designed with respect to its surroundings, be a benefit to the wider community and that will stand the test of time; something we can be genuinely proud of.”

John Beresford, Managing Director, Buckland Development
“I joined Buckland 5 years ago to lead the team to deliver Welborne. I was taken aback by the commitment shown by the landowner to create a place that was so special. We all dream of that one project in our careers that is not only challenging but also gives a huge amount of satisfaction. For me, Welborne is the job that I will always be proud to be associated with. Pulling together the team of directly-employed specialists to work for Buckland Development was an easy task given its appeal.”
Town & Landscape Architects
-
Ben Pentreath, Town Architect
Maintaining overall design consitency and ensuring our vision is not diluted over time is very important to us which is why we have appointed Ben Pentreath.
-
Kim Wilkie, Landscape Architect
Landscape and green space are fundamental to the Welborne vision and need careful planning due to the scale of the site. We have appointed Kim to plan our green space and to look at Welborne as a cohesive site.
House Build Partners
We have chosen a different approach to delivering homes at Welborne. For the first phase of delivery, Buckland has entered into agreements with three top-quality House Build Partners who will work with us to build the homes. These three experienced regional housebuilders, recognised for their quality of build, have a reputation for high-quality homes. The arrangement Buckland has with the build partners has benefits for both them and us. We benefit from great build quality and they participate in building homes on a large development like Welborne which is normally the preserve of the national volume house builders.
