In 2011 Grainger plc was appointed by the Ministry of Defence (DIO) and the Homes and Communities Agency to be part of a one-of-a-kind opportunity to create a long-lasting neighbourhood on former military land in Aldershot, Hampshire – Wellesley.
With Grainger’s wealth of experience, Wellesley respects Aldershot’s heritage while fully embracing modern-day living. The vision is to enrich the area’s already strong community spirit, and create a place that people feel proud to call home.
