Jelson

Jelson is a local firm through and through - it always has been, since its inception in 1889, and it always will be - so the business is an integral part of the communities in which it operates, whether in its Leicestershire heartland or throughout the wider East Midlands. The commitment to creating a community, rather than simply building houses, is something that Jelson takes very seriously indeed. Examples abound in all of the areas in which the company operates; in many cases Jelson will work in partnership with local schools to help promote awareness and safety amongst pupils who may otherwise be tempted to stray onto active building sites. The company has also run successful toy appeals for children who, unfortunately, have to spend Christmas in hospital. The Jelson Academy, which has an annual intake of apprentices, is another instance of the company's responsible attitude to helping young individuals in the local community excel in a future career in the building industry.
