Partnerships
Framework appointment
success with Thirteen Group
We are pleased to have joined regional landlord and housing
developer Thirteen Group’s new Strategic Development
Framework.
Being Partner Consultant allows us to work with Thirteen Group
and its other Partner Consultants and Contractors, to assist
in delivering the group’s ambitious development plans for the
future. This includes a focus on decarbonisation, social value
and tenant satisfaction.
Having a full framework in place will assist in getting homes on
the ground sooner, by streamlining the procurement processes
for design and delivery, as well as supporting ef昀椀ciencies
throughout the whole design, delivery and occupancy process.

“We have a long-established relationship with Thirteen
Group which our appointment to the framework
cements. It also underlines the quality of the
developments that we have delivered for the group
to date. We are delighted to develop our relationship
further through the framework, which brings the
promise of involvement with a number of exciting
and forward-thinking development opportunities.”
Mura Mullan,
Director at JDDK
Charity
St Oswald’s charity of the year
We have recently launched our ‘Charity of the Year’ scheme following
our transition to an Employee-Owned Trust. The new Scheme welcomes
each member of staff to nominate a charity which is close to their
heart, with the charity then selected at random from the list of fantastic
causes nominated.
We’re pleased to share our charity of the year for 23/24 is St Oswald’s
Hospice, a beloved local charity which provides specialist care for
babies, children, and adults with life-limiting conditions.

JDDK have been fundraising and donating since earlier this year and
in October next year, Stuart Franklin, our Associate Director will be
embarking on an ambitious 5-day hill tribe trek in Vietnam to raise much
needed funds for the hospice. The trek will be followed by two days
in the Mai Chau region, where Stuart will work on a local community
project supporting a local palliative care unit.
Stuart has raised a remarkable total of £1,370 so far, which will go
towards vital funds for babies and young people alongside their families.
A big thank you to everyone who has donated. The whole team at JDDK
wish Stuart the very best of luck!
