The Jennings Group
About
We believe passionately that when people thrive, positive change can happen.
For us, this begins with our talented, fun-loving team, who shape and drive what we do.
And it’s their shared values that nurture a remarkable business community.
Here relationships matter. We get to know you, so we can best support you to succeed. We believe in doing business differently. It’s not just about profit margins, shareholders or even property. It’s as much about shaping communities that care and are striving for kinder, stronger and better relationships for everyone.
Caring about the environment
We are passionate about sustainable development at Jennings. Our beautiful surroundings mean the world to us, and we want to develop them as sensitively as we can.
So we use PV solar panels, hemp and lime construction and biomass boilers. We recycle our rainwater and have created stunning eco-friendly workspaces by our lake.
And we strive for more, so new initatives are on the way…
