Keepmoat builds success in South Yorkshire

A South Yorkshire homebuilder is celebrating recognition in the county’s top business rankings.

Doncaster-based Keepmoat has secured second place in the 2025 South Yorkshire Limited report, which ranks the region’s 100 largest privately owned companies by turnover. 

The housebuilder was also named among the top ten fastest-growing companies in the county.

Matthew Wilson, tax director at Grant Thornton, who personally handed over the award to senior team members at Keepmoat’s Doncaster headquarters, said: “Doncaster is a city with a growing reputation for innovation, resilience and ambition. 

“Keepmoat’s success is a powerful example of how local businesses are driving economic growth and creating long-term value for communities.

“It’s fantastic to see a Doncaster-headquartered company not only thrive but also lead the way in shaping South Yorkshire’s future. 

“We’re proud to celebrate Keepmoat’s achievements and the vital role that the businesses highlighted by our South Yorkshire Ltd report play in the region’s business landscape.”

The report, compiled by Grant Thornton UK LLP, highlights Keepmoat’s strong financial performance, steady growth and significant contribution to the local economy. 

Earlier this year, Ian Hoad was appointed chief executive, returning to lead the business after decades of experience in the housebuilding sector.

Ian added: “We’re delighted to be recognised as one of the largest private businesses in the South Yorkshire Limited 2025 report. 

“This achievement reflects the hard work and dedication of our people across the business.

“The recognition demonstrates the importance of our commitment to delivering high-quality, affordable homes and driving regeneration projects that bring long-term benefits to communities nationwide, and we are proud to be headquartered in South Yorkshire.”
