Durkan Group has launched a dedicated regeneration business, Durkan Regen, in response to growing market demand.

Durkan Regen will build on Durkan’s 50-plus years’ experience supporting local authorities and housing associations providing services including asset regeneration, planned maintenance, compliance services including damp and mould, fire remediation, general repairs, as well as retrofit, decarbonisation and cladding remediation.

Recently appointed managing director of Durkan Regen, Dan Germann, has more than 30 years’ experience in the sector and has been instrumental in establishing the dedicated regeneration business and bringing it to market.

He has previously held senior roles at Keepmoat Regeneration, Apollo Group, Engie and most recently EQUANS UK, where he was responsible for leading a £350m business.

He said: “Over the last year alone, Durkan has significantly increased their market share of regeneration activity in London and the South-east, working with local authorities and housing associations in the regeneration of their existing housing stock.

“Moving into 2025 and beyond, we’re committed to further growing our regeneration portfolio in conjunction with our clients, using our experience in the housing industry to help local authorities and housing associations create better homes and communities for people, regenerate housing stock to ensure homes are decent and safe, and to help meet their net zero targets.

“Durkan Regen gives us the structure and platform we need to deliver and to grow. I’m looking forward to spearheading Durkan’s investment in this area and supporting the business in its continued success”

Alongside Durkan Regen, Durkan Group will continue to grow and expand its housebuilding business, Durkan Homes, that was successfully launched to market in 2019.
