Caddick

Caddick Group is a family-owned property services business with a history spanning over four decades. Paul Caddick established Balne Lane Construction, specializing in Civil Engineering, on July 6, 1979, as a subsidiary of Paul Caddick (Holdings) PLC. Over three generations, the firm has evolved from its civil engineering roots into a multi-sector property development and construction company. The company is directed and managed by individuals actively involved in the day-to-day operations, fostering an approachable hierarchy and flexible decision-making. Caddick Group is recognized for its commitment to innovation and excellence across its projects, blending its rich family history with a personal touch to deliver results.

The company's operations encompass the acquisition, development, construction, and management of residential, industrial, and regeneration projects across the UK. Caddick Group's versatility is a key strength, enabling the delivery of projects ranging from £3 million to £90 million contracts with efficiency and excellence. The firm operates with a set of core values, including fairness, inspiring spaces, smart solutions, confidence in delivery, responsible actions, and a pursuit of excellence in all undertakings. These principles guide the company in building trust through openness and collaboration, creating spaces that motivate communities, and delivering long-term value.

Caddick Group has a significant presence in the Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) sector, primarily through its subsidiary, Moda Living, and direct construction projects. Moda Living, established in 2013, is a prominent Build-to-Rent (BTR) platform in the UK, with a pipeline of 8,000 homes and a development value of £2.5 billion. The wider Caddick Group itself operates across the BTR, PBSA, residential, and industrial and logistics sectors. This strategic involvement highlights the firm's readiness to meet the increasing demand for rental properties, including student housing.

In recent developments, Caddick Construction secured a £25 million design and build contract for the 232-bed Melbury Court PBSA scheme in Durham, on behalf of Whitesmocks Limited. This project is scheduled for completion in summer 2027, aiming to support Durham's expanding student population. Additionally, the company was appointed to complete a 301-bed student accommodation development at 179 High Street in Lincoln for EBW Developments, providing modern living spaces to support the University of Lincoln. Caddick also submitted plans for Block D of the SOYO Leeds scheme, proposing 291 beds of high-quality student residential accommodation, designed to complement the vibrant cultural quarter of the city.

The Caddick Group has demonstrated substantial growth, achieving a record-breaking annual turnover of £606 million in its latest financial year. During this period, the group's gross profit increased by 23% to £70 million, and its net assets grew to £202 million year-on-year. The firm has also expanded its geographical footprint, opening a North West office in Warrington in 2016, a Birmingham office in June 2023, and a Durham office in March 2025. These expansions, alongside a new Wakefield Headquarters opening in June 2024, underscore the company's commitment to delivering projects across various regions of the UK. The group's portfolio also includes the ownership of Leeds Rhinos RLFC and Headingley Stadium.
