Two new faces join the expanding Sky-House Co team

SKY-HOUSE Co, the Sheffield based house-builder, has welcomed two new faces to its expanding team.

Richard Ratcliffe is a Senior Quantity Surveyor who started as a Trainee Quantity Surveyor in 2003 and progressed to Senior Quantity Surveyor whilst gaining invaluable experience across all sectors including residential, education, health and retail.

He graduated from Leeds Metropolitan University in 2010 with a BSc (Hons) 2:1 degree in Construction Management and was most recently with the Lindum Group.

Jodie Cook, who joins Sky-House Co as Operations Support Manager, has worked within the construction industry for more than 13 years and brings with her a variety of experiences from different sectors, from utility installations and new connections to directional drilling for wind farms and house building and renovations.

“These two new additions to the team will be essential as we grow the business and deliver our pipeline of future projects,” said Operations Director Ryan Ratcliffe.

“Despite the challenges that 2020 has presented the industry as a whole, this is an exciting time for us and strong sales and new projects are testament to our brand positioning.”

Sky-House Co is funded by Homes England and aims to fill the missing-middle of the housing market by creating sensitively dense, naturally affordable and sustainable homes that are both robust and beautiful.

Work on Sky-House at the Waverley Regeneration site, close to both Rotherham and Sheffield, has continued throughout lockdown with the completion of 44 Sky-Houses, the acclaimed 21st-century take on the traditional back-to-back Victorian house, created for the company by the team at CODA Studios.

Future projects include 40 riverside homes at Oughtibridge Mill and seven homes at Fox Valley, alongside Phase Two of the Waverley development, where a further 44 Sky-House homes will be built.

The company is also currently in the process of securing planning permission for an additional 54 homes in Sheffield city centre.
