Northern Trust & Land Developments

01. The Client

As one of the UK’s most successful and long-established land promoters, Northern Trust has been involved in planning and development for over 60 years. Established in 1962, the company is family-owned and privately-run, priding itself on a personable approach to business. This approach, underpinned by core family values, ensures a deep understanding of partners’ needs and the development of efficient, tailored strategies. All projects are viewed as partnerships, working collaboratively with landowners to maximise the value of their land.

In addition to strategic land promotion, the company also boasts a commercial portfolio of circa 9 million square feet of industrial, trade counter, and office parks throughout the UK, supporting over 25,000 jobs. This substantial commercial portfolio places the company in a strong financial position, with assets of approximately £1 billion available for new acquisitions.

The primary goal of the new website is to showcase Northern Trust’s extensive expertise and success in land promotion, while also providing a user-friendly platform for potential clients to engage with.

The site also highlights an impressive track record of achieving planning consents for both its own and third-party landowner sites. This is illustrated through case studies, showcasing successful projects and satisfied clients. The resource hub offers information to educate landowners about the land promotion process, reinforcing the company’s commitment to nurturing strong relationships with its partners.
