When Gladman was founded in 1987 by
David and Karen Gladman the
concentration of the business was towards bespoke executive housing.
David
and Karen sold their home in 1987 to fund the first plots for development.
Over the following decade the business began to add retirement
apartments
and eventually care homes to its development programme. Gladman
have now
moved away from conventional residential development to concentrate
on
commercial development, although a residential interest remains
in the form
of student accommodation and retirement apartments.
