Dream. Believe. Create. Sustain.
Blencathra Group
A privately held group that operates with a long-term perspective across property, sustainable housing and humanitarian philanthropy. The group’s activities are carried out through distinct organisations with clear vision and independent identities. The group prioritises substance over visibility, and durability over pace.

The Group
Blencathra operates through a small number of independent platforms. Each works with a clear mandate, its own discipline and a long-term perspective.
The Group’s interests span the built environment, sustainable construction, and long-horizon humanitarian and lasting social impact. Across all activities, the Group prioritises permanence over pace, substance over visibility and careful execution over expansion for its own sake.
Capital is deployed patiently and responsibly, with an emphasis on durability and resilience, rather than short-term, tactical, optimisation.
