Stamford Road, Kettering Celebration
Parrott Construction was delighted to join North Northamptonshire Council and local dignitaries on 16 July 2025 to officially open the affordable housing development at Stamford Road, Kettering.
This milestone marks more than just the completion of eight high-quality, accessible homes—it celebrates a strong, collaborative effort and Parrott’s commitment to delivering social value in our communities.
✅ Former Methodist church site demolished
✅ Eight new homes built—ranging from one- and two-bed bungalows to three-bed houses
✅ All fully accessible, designed for energy efficiency and modern living
✅ More than £2 million invested, funded through the Council’s Right to Buy scheme
A special mention to the tenants, who helped with the ribbon cutting—welcome to your new homes! 🏡
Supporting Local Education
A Look at Our Recent Community Engagement
At Parrott Construction, we believe in building more than just homes and infrastructure — we’re committed to supporting the communities we work in, especially when it comes to inspiring the next generation. This month, we’re proud to highlight a series of recent community engagement activities that reflect this commitment in action.
Inspiring Young Minds at Higham Ferrers Nursery and Infant School
As part of their Superhero Day, Nita Wills from our team visited the nursery class to talk about what it means to work in construction — and how builders play a vital role in creating the places we live, work, and play. The children enjoyed hearing about the “superhero” jobs involved in building projects, and we were pleased to donate a range of play materials including foam bricks, large bricks, kinetic sand, and magnetic shapes. These hands-on resources supported their learning through imaginative play and sparked some brilliant questions from the pupils.
Careers Inspiration at The Bedford College Group
Earlier this term, we also took part in a careers event hosted by The Bedford College Group, speaking with students about the wide range of career opportunities available in the construction industry. Our team enjoyed answering questions, sharing experiences from the field, and helping students understand how their skills and interests could shape their future career paths in the sector.
Hands-On Learning at Compass Primary Academy
We also visited Compass Primary Academy in Kettering, where students were given the opportunity to explore the tools, materials, and safety gear used on construction sites. Our team brought along foam bricks and mini hi-vis vests to help bring the topic to life, encouraging children to think practically and creatively about the built environment around them.
These activities are just a small part of our ongoing commitment to education, outreach, and community support. We believe that early engagement helps build awareness, curiosity, and confidence — and we’re always proud to contribute where we can.
