A modular housing developer in West Yorkshire says it can deliver thousands of new homes each year.

EDAROTH (Everybody Deserves a Roof Over Their Head), a specialist in off-site manufactured social and affordable housing, showcased its Bradford factory to housing minister Matthew Pennycook during a recent visit to demonstrate its scalable, net-zero housing solutions.

The company currently produces 120 homes per year but says it could scale up to more than 2,500 annually with better access to the pipeline of development opportunities.

Mark Powell, managing director of EDAROTH, said: “With its recent ‘call to arms’ the government is actively encouraging disruptors in the housing market to demonstrate a model that increases production at pace and scale, and we were able to show the housing minister a deliverable solution that does exactly that to provide additive capacity nationally, as well as local jobs and investment for this part of West Yorkshire.”

This expansion could create 500 local jobs, including up to 40 apprenticeships.

The Bradford facility, operated by Cardinal Logistics, manufactures key components for EDAROTH’s energy-efficient homes.

David Newlove, operations director at Cardinal, added: “We were pleased to be able to demonstrate to the housing minister that our Bradford factory is well-placed to support the renewed focus on getting Britain building.”
