Bloor Homes Limited is an English housebuilder based in Measham, Leicestershire.[3] It is Britain’s largest privately owned housebuilder.[4]
Bloor Homes was established in 1969 by John Bloor. The 2000s was a particularly profitable decade for the first, the firm was selling 1,870 houses annually. In response to the 2007–2008 financial crisis, Bloor Homes transferred some of its unsold homes to the public sector, reduced its involvement in apartment construction and cut subcontractor payments. By 2012, it was reportedly building around 1,800 homes per year; six years later, the company was completing 3,200 homes annually. The company's value was such that, due to his large stake in the business, John Bloor became the richest man in Britain's construction sector during the 2010s.
