COLLEAGUES at Riverain Lodge in Taunton are celebrating this week after Churchill Living netted a national award.

The retirement home achieved a top honour at the national WhatHouse? Awards 2024, winning a Gold Award in the ‘Best Retirement Home Developer’ category for the second year in a row.

The WhatHouse? Awards are widely recognised as the ‘Oscars’ of the UK house-building industry.

Actor James Nesbitt hosted the event which took place on Friday, November 15 at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London and was attended by over 1,300 industry professionals.

The ‘Best Retirement Home Developer’ category recognises the best developers serving the later living sector, looking at a range of factors including overall commitment and contribution to the promotion and enhancement of retirement housing.

Churchill’s success in this category for a second consecutive year underlines the Company’s leading position in the sector, thanks to the quality of its developments across the country, including Riverain Lodge on Tangier Way.
