Impact Capital Group, founded by entrepreneur Robert Whitton, is a UK-based technology and design-led business, providing an end-to-end integrated value chain for the entire development process.
Under the Impact umbrella sit a number of subsidiaries, each playing a fundamental role in the real estate lifecycle model. This includes Impact Smart Homes, Impact Developments, Impact Working and Impact Modular, which operates from a 110,000 sq. ft production facility in Peterborough producing modular homes.
This strategic move will allow Impact Lending to adopt Impact Capital Groups core values, promoting sustainability, social cohesion and wellness through built environment projects.
David Travers, CEO of Impact Lending said: “We are delighted to unveil our new identity as Impact Lending, which will bring our lending company in line with the culture and ethos of the Impact Capital Group. We recognise the history of our industry and that is why we honour the traditional construction product range. However, it is part of our company’s culture to encourage all of our clients to consider building using sustainable construction methods on their future developments and contribute to the Green Recovery initiative.”
Robert Whitton, founder and CEO of Impact Capital Group said: “The government has an ambition to meet Carbon Net Zero by 2050 and has set out clear guidelines to launch a Green Industrial Revolution. The growing shift towards sustainable homes is a long-term environmental investment with a multitude of benefits for developers and our wider community. Bringing Impact Lending into the group means that we can provide a holistic solution, by catering for the end-to-end lifecycle of future developments that will benefit generations for years to come.”
