Gleeson welcomes Sheffield Hallam University students to ‘The Homesteads’ in Goldthorpe
On Tuesday 28th January 2025, Gleeson was delighted to welcome students from Sheffield Hallam University’s Project Management course to its new development in Goldthorpe.
The Homesteads, which is Gleeson's latest development in Goldthorpe, Barnsley is set to deliver 68 new highly affordable, quality homes. Under the guidance of Gleeson's Site Manager, Dean Sidebottom, and Predevelopment Director, Russell Thompson, the students had the opportunity to see how their theoretical knowledge is applied in real-world scenarios.
During the visit, Gleeson provided insights on topics such as project planning, forecasting, stock management, and people management. The site tour provided the students with the opportunity to witness the journey of a live development, from road construction to homes ready for the second fix.
The students at Sheffield Hallam University represent the future of the construction industry, and Gleeson is proud to support the personal and professional development of those interested in exploring a career within construction. Providing such insights into the construction process is crucial to inspiring the next generation of talent to be part of this fast-paced and exciting industry.
“What a brilliant visit for our students yesterday. Dean's tour was one of the best we have seen for a while. The feedback from our students following the visit was highly positive, with them sharing that they found it enjoyable, gaining some excellent insights.”
Gleeson's collaboration with Sheffield Hallam University, demonstrates how it aims to positively connect with the communities in which it builds. Through supporting local engagement activities, Gleeson aims to deliver real and meaningful social impact.
