HOUSEBUILDER Barratt Developments – which has schemes in Keighley and Cullingworth – has staged its most successful-ever subcontractors conference.

More than 60 subcontractors attended the event, at the Woodlands Hotel in Leeds.

The conference was addressed by several Barratt directors and there were networking opportunities.

Ian Ruthven, managing director of Barratt Developments Yorkshire West, said: "We couldn't be happier that the event attracted such an excellent turnout, building on the success of last year's conference.

"We pride ourselves in working with subcontractors and suppliers in the regions where we build, so it was brilliant to see such large numbers."

Barratt, including David Wilson Homes, says it has invested over £50 million in suppliers and subcontractors during the past year.

Its schemes include Vision at Braithwaite and Hewenden Ridge, Cullingworth.
