As 2025 dawns, the housebuilding industry finds itself at a crossroads, still facing economic and political challenges, yet buoyed by increased opportunities. At Cruden Group, we go into the year ahead with renewed cautious optimism. Last year, we restructured our business to adapt to evolving market dynamics and maximise opportunities in both the private and affordable housing sectors.

This strategic decision has already begun to yield significant results, positioning us strongly to deliver more than 4,500 new homes across Scotland in the medium term.

COVID-19 pushed businesses and charities across the country to re-evaluate their business and service delivery models. It was a difficult time for many, with businesses struggling to survive restrictions while others were able to adapt and flourish. At Jewish Care Scotland (JCS), a Glasgow-based social care charity offering support to community members across Scotland, we embraced the opportunity to reassess the way we supported people as their needs continued to evolve.
