McCarthy & Stone
McCarthy & Stone is a leading retirement housebuilder, based in the UK. The company operates from nine regional offices, and is responsible for constructing two thirds of Britain’s retirement housing stock each year.〔(How to retire back in Britain – 31/05/2009 – Daily Telegraph )〕 Since 1977, it has been responsible for selling 50,000 properties across the UK.
==History==
John McCarthy and Bill Stone entered into partnership in 1961 and in 1977 they built their first retirement housing development in Hampshire. McCarthy & Stone stopped all its other building work to concentrate on developing specialist housing for older people.〔Wellings, Fred: ''Dictionary of British Housebuilders'' (2006) Troubador. ISBN 978-0-9552965-0-5〕 By 1982, when the Company was floated on the Unlisted Securities Market, McCarthy & Stone had completed 15 retirement housing developments and was selling around 200 units a year.〔Company Prospectus (1982)〕
Growth was rapid after the flotation and by 1984 the company had a national organisation in place with annual sales approaching 1,000 units. The business was exceptionally profitable due to a rapidly ageing population.〔 Annual sales reached 2,601 in 1988.〔
McCarthy & Stone was delisted from the London Stock Exchange in December 2006 following a successful takeover bid of over £1 billion from a consortium including David and Simon Reuben and Sir Tom Hunter.〔(HBOS-led 'Mother Bidco' scoops McCarthy & Stone – 06/09/2006 – Contract Journal )〕 The company successfully refinanced in August 2013 under new ownership.〔(New McCarthy & Stone boss wields the axe ) Construction Index, 6 March 2014〕
