Hargreaves Land, the regeneration and property development specialist behind East Lothian’s landmark Blindwells development, has been confirmed as Headline Sponsor of the Midlothian & East Lothian Chamber of Commerce Business Awards.

Hargreaves Land is a national land and property development company with a strong and lasting presence in East Lothian. As the master developer behind Blindwells — a flagship 1,600-home new community near Tranent, including 480 affordable homes, a new primary school, and future town centre — the company has a deep investment in the long-term growth and success of the region.

The Blindwells project is one of the most significant residential developments in Scotland, transforming a former industrial site into a sustainable, connected community for East Lothian. Hargreaves Land is a principal operating division of Hargreaves Services plc, listed on the London Stock Exchange’s AIM market, with a turnover of over £150 million and a team of more than 1,500 people across the UK.

As Headline Sponsor of the MELCC Business Awards, Hargreaves Land brings with it a commitment to celebrating the ambition and talent driving the regional economy — values that sit at the heart of both the Blindwells vision and the wider Hargreaves Land purpose of connecting people and places.

Niall McLean, Development Director at Hargreaves Land, said: “Blindwells is about much more than delivering new homes; it’s about creating opportunities, supporting economic growth and building a thriving new community for East Lothian. That’s why we’re proud to become Headline Sponsor of the Midlothian & East Lothian Chamber of Commerce Business Awards.

“These awards shine a spotlight on the businesses, entrepreneurs and organisations that are driving innovation and making a positive difference across the region. We look forward to joining the Chamber in recognising and celebrating their success.”

Keith Barbour, President of the Midlothian & East Lothian Chamber of Commerce said:
“We are proud to welcome Hargreaves Land as our Headline Sponsor. Their commitment to East Lothian goes far beyond bricks and mortar — Blindwells is about building a community, and that is exactly the spirit these Awards are designed to celebrate.”
