A LEADING PARTNERSHIP

Represented by CEO David Thomas, Barratt Developments were personally invited to become patron by Tommy Club President Lord Dannatt. They took no time in showing their commitment to the project by donating an incredible £100,000 in its first week.
RBLI Chief Executive Steve Sherry CMG OBE said:
“Whilst those of us in the Third Sector work tirelessly to lead the conversation on veteran support, for the private sector to join that discussion, ultimately, organisations have to take that first step and stand up and be counted.
Barratt Developments is without doubt such an organisation - they are a true leader in the private space when it comes to the support of the military community.
We cannot thank Barratt Developments enough for their on-going support, and together we will continue to improve the lives of military veterans and their families.”
David Thomas, CEO of Barratt Developments, really lived up to the role of Patron when he visited QEC in 2019. He threw himself into serving tea to the residents and even did the washing up before he left!
DID YOU KNOW....?
RBLI and Barratt Developments first joined forces in 2018 when the country’s leading housebuilder donated £750,000 to RBLI’s Centenary Village development.
In 2019, Barratt commissioned Britain’s Bravest Manufacturing Company to produce signage for Barratt sites across the South East, opening up a new revenue stream for the social enterprise.
The BBMC team have been kept busy working on Barratt’s residential signage ever since and are really proud of the results.
