Buckland Development is delivering Welborne, a new generation sustainable Garden Village. We are delighted to have been instructed to assist them with recruiting part-time Welcome Centre Associates to join the Welcome Centre and Team.
Welborne has been inspired by the English Garden City movement of one hundred years ago which produced enduringly popular, well-designed and well-built places which are still thriving today. Buckland have taken the very best aspects of these and combined them with everything needed for life today.
