Esquire: Building Better Homes, Growing Stronger Communities
Since its founding in 2011 by Paul Henry and David Braddon, Esquire has stood for more than just housebuilding — it has championed a fresh perspective on development, blending new ideas with traditional values to challenge the status quo and raise the bar for quality housing.
Now, over a decade later, Esquire continues to grow — not just in output, but across every facet of the business. With a strengthened management team and empowered departments, the company has fostered a culture where creativity thrives. This internal evolution has unlocked greater design ambition and a strong focus on sustainability, with Esquire firmly on the path toward net zero carbon.
Relationships are at the core of Esquire’s success. Whether collaborating with landowners, affordable housing partners, local authorities or fellow SME developers, the company is building a reputation across Kent and beyond as a trusted, delivery-focused partner known for quality, diversity and integrity.
Beyond development, Esquire is an active and engaged contributor to the housing conversation — from public consultations and community events to chairing the SME network and participating in a recent No.10 roundtable with the Prime Minister to tackle housing delivery challenges head-on.
1. Exponential Growth with Purpose – From its 2011 roots, Esquire is now set to deliver 200 new homes per year by 2026 — a reflection of sustainable, strategic growth rooted in quality.
2. SMEs Supporting SMEs – As an active leader in the SME network, Esquire is committed to collaboration, creating opportunities not just for itself, but for others across the sector.
3. Real Community Commitment – Through charity involvement, ongoing public engagement, and a refined CSR strategy, Esquire puts people and places at the heart of its growth.
