About from company website
Founded in 1886 by Henry Boot, the company has a rich history of transforming land and spaces. Initially starting with a single handcart and growing through entrepreneurial spirit, Henry Boot became the first home builder listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1919. The business expanded significantly, undertaking large-scale public works, housing projects, and even international construction of harbours, railways, and drainage systems.
During World War II, Henry Boot played a crucial role in building temporary harbours for the D-Day Landings. Post-war, the company focused on national expansion, establishing Banner Plant for plant and tool hire in 1958, followed by Henry Boot Construction and Henry Boot Developments (now HBD). Hallam Land was founded in 1989 as a land promotion division.
Today, Henry Boot operates across three key markets: urban development, industrial and logistics, and residential. The group comprises five businesses: Hallam Land, HBD, Stonebridge Homes, Banner Plant, and Road Link. With a commitment to sustainability and a vision to create great places for future generations, Henry Boot continues to build on its legacy of quality, expertise, and partnership.
