Our customers are the new neighbours and we think it ’ s important show we care about them , and leave a lasting legacy for everyone in the community .
Chartway Group are locally based in Coxheath on the outskirts of Maidstone and our community matters to us .
We are an award winning development and construction group , operating across the South East , building great homes and delivering the best quality of service since 2009 .
We don ’ t just want to build homes , we want to build new communities and neighbourhoods , help our customers feel a sense of belonging , and be proud to say they live one of our new homes , whether it ’ s one of our partnership homes with leading housing associations or , through our own new homes arm Westerhill Homes .
In 2021 Westerhill Homes was the Presenting Partner for Elmer ’ s Big Heart of Kent Parade for Heart of Kent Hospice , a widely applauded art sculpture trail in Maidstone , raising both awareness of the Hospice and funds in excess of £ 300,000 . This sponsorship was in addition to many of the smaller sponsorships we committed to last year , and events such as our staff donating to a Christmas lunch fund and donating children ’ s clothes and toys to the Slade Green Food Bank .
