What RE:GEN Group does

RE:GEN Group is a UK-headquartered construction services firm specialising in the regeneration, refurbishment, and maintenance of social housing across Northern England and the Midlands. The company operates through four regional divisions—North East, North West, Yorkshire & East Midlands, and Midlands—delivering new build, refurbishment, retrofit, and planned maintenance programmes to housing associations and local authorities. Its subsidiary portfolio includes RE:GEN Solutions for core delivery, RE:GEN Academy for in-house workforce training, and RE:GEN Green for sustainability and decarbonisation services. The firm employs between 51 and 100 staff and is privately held.

The company generates revenue through competitively tendered construction contracts, multi-year planned maintenance frameworks, and government-funded retrofit programmes. Major engagements include a £27.7 million Cricketers Hill development with Gentoo Group (115 affordable homes), a £4.47 million three-year retrofit programme with Chesterfield Borough Council, and ongoing frameworks with housing associations including KarbonHomes, believe housing, Bernicia, and thirteen. Revenue mechanics are project-based with milestone billing typical of UK construction contracting, supplemented by framework agreements that provide recurring work visibility.

RE:GEN positions itself within the regulated social housing sector, building direct funding relationships with Homes England and aligning with national policy initiatives such as the Warm Homes Plan 2026. The firm was awarded Contractor of the Year at the Northern Housing Awards 2026. Differentiation is anchored in vertical specialisation, regional density in Northern England, internal workforce development through RE:GEN Academy, and a growing sustainability service line under RE:GEN Green.
