TV’s George Clarke Visits Bancon’s Lochside of Leys Development

We recently had a very special visitor at our Lochside of Leys development in Banchory - none other than George Clarke, the well-known architect and TV presenter behind shows like The Restoration Man, Old House, New Home, and George Clarke’s Remarkable Renovations.

George joined Jane Wood, Chief Executive of Homes for Scotland, and Jamie Tosh, Managing Director of Bancon Homes, for a tour of our beautiful new homes in Royal Deeside. Both were here to see firsthand how Bancon is helping shape modern, sustainable communities across Scotland.

This year marks a major milestone for us at Bancon Group - our 50th anniversary! From our beginnings as a small local joinery business in 1975, we’ve grown into one of Scotland’s leading housebuilding, construction and timberfame groups. Homes for Scotland is also celebrating 25 years of supporting the industry, so it felt like the perfect time to reflect on the meaning of "home" and what the future of housebuilding should look like.

George and Jane took time to explore our development, chatting with our team and local residents about the importance of delivering high-quality homes and creating neighbourhoods people are proud to live in. We were thrilled to hear how impressed they were with the quality of the homes, the setting, and the strong sense of community we’re building here, and in all our developments across Scotland.

Bancon was also proud to sponsor the recent Homes for Scotland Annual Lunch & Awards, which brought together over 1,000 industry leaders to celebrate excellence in Scottish homebuilding.

Jamie Tosh, Managing Director of Bancon Homes & Construction, said:
“As we celebrate 50 years of building homes, we’re proud to continue delivering modern, sustainable and high-quality places to live, and to support Homes for Scotland in their mission to ensure more people can find the home they deserve.”

George Clarke and Jane Wood both highlighted how vital it is to keep the conversation going about housing, design and the importance of community - something we’re passionate about at Bancon.

Come visit Lochside of Leys and see for yourself why it’s getting such high praise.
