Morro 28% turnover growth: pipeline, timber systems and carbon metrics for project teams

First reported on The Construction Index
30 Second Briefing
Morro has reported 2025/26 turnover up 28% to £127.7m, backed by a £500m project pipeline and plans to deliver 2,500 homes across the Midlands. CEO Matt Moore links the growth to partnership-led regeneration and affordable housing schemes with local and combined authorities, Homes England, registered providers and private investors. The firm is scaling its in-house timber frame Innovation Hub and, as the first SME housebuilder with SBTi accreditation and £13.6m recorded social value, is signalling tighter carbon and community metrics on future schemes.
Technical Brief
- Innovation Hub operates as an in-house timber frame manufacturing facility, enabling tighter programme and quality control.
- Timber frame capability supports offsite fabrication, reducing on-plot construction time and site labour demand.
- Collaboration model explicitly spans local authorities, combined authorities, Homes England, registered providers and private investors on schemes.
- Social value impact report quantifies £13.6m delivered, implying formalised tracking of community and economic outcomes.
- Several key appointments indicate expansion of internal technical, delivery and commercial capacity to handle the pipeline.
- SBTi accreditation requires Morro to align operational and embodied carbon trajectories with science-based reduction pathways.
Our Take
Formal engagement with SBTi, combined with rapid turnover growth, suggests Morro may soon face the same delivery and reporting pressures seen in other fast-growing UK infrastructure players in our database, particularly around proving that pipeline expansion in the Midlands is compatible with science-based decarbonisation pathways.
