About Buckminster


We are a forward-thinking business committed to continuous investment and the enhancement of the land and property under our stewardship. We take pride in our heritage, carefully considering the lasting legacy we aspire to leave for future generations.

Our aspirations

Our aspirations include nurturing the relationships with our tenant customer community, ensuring that we are accessible, understanding and responsive at all times. We are committed to thriving local economies, and strive to drive forward plans and projects focused on this objective. 

 

Our aim

Our aim is to raise the profile of Grantham and promote Buckminster as a buoyant local digitally connected business hub set within the heart of flourishing communities, attracting young, aspiring businesses and families to the area to enjoy an enhanced and more sustainable lifestyle.

 

Our decisions

Every decision is taken with a long-term perspective, whether it be creating a sophisticated countryside setting, carefully managing the landscape, flora and fauna, or greening and powering our major edge of town residential and commercial developments. 

 

Our team

We have a team of dedicated individuals who is responsible for the day-to-day management and running of the Estate across its property, venues for hire, farms, woodland, commercial developments and community projects. We are supported by a wide range of contractors and consultants who add their own first-class skills to everything we do.

High profile projects 

The focus of all of our projects is to provide sustainable long-term developments that continue to preserve and support our local communities, heritage and environment.

We partner with many organisations and take advantage of government-backed schemes to enhance the area to entice new interest and investment locally. In order to kick start the local economy, in 2011 the decision was taken to invest in a high-speed broadband infrastructure serving what is now coverage of 75 square miles southwest of Grantham all the way to Leicestershire. The service provides both domestic and business users with internet and phone connectivity via fibre optics and a wireless network, delivering superfast speeds.

Three key developments we are currently working on are:

Grantham’s immortalised MP

 

The Hon Frederick James Tollemache, the fifth son and 10th child of William, Lord Huntingtower, has his very own statue at the southern end of St Peter’s Hill in Grantham. He represented the city as a Member of Parliament for 40 years between 1826 and 1874 and was very popular in his time, despite his ideas for change seeming very modern. He wanted to retire from politics during the 1860s but was persuaded to re-stand; a huge crowd gathered to greet him, and his supporters pulled his carriage through the town. He has two pubs named after him, one close to his statue in Grantham and the other in his home village of Buckminster.
