Local house builder celebrates 25 years in business

A house builder is celebrating 25 years since its first development started.

Risby Homes, established by Mark Barrett, has been creating bespoke developments across East Yorkshire since 1993.

And now Mark’s son Olly, and daughter Amy, are both part of the team which has created everything from apartments to executive family homes.

Risby’s first development was eight two-bedroomed houses in Old Beck Court, Beverley, and they have since built developments in Hessle, Cherry Burton, Welton, Walkington and Little Weighton.

They are currently working on Westcote Farm, South Cave, and have also recently began work on their largest development to date, 73 two, three, and four bedroomed homes at Shepherds Rest, on the southern edge of Beverley.

Mark said: “We are very proud of the homes we have built over the past 25 years.

“We started in Beverley and it seems fitting that as we celebrate our anniversary, we are preparing to build in the town once again, as we have done several times over the years.

“We have only just started groundworks on the Shepherds Rest site but have already had enquiries from potential buyers, demonstrating the reputation we have for quality and excellence.”
