Who are we?
Cavendish & Gloucester is a property development and investment company known for its integrity, imagination, and commitment to lasting quality.
Our diverse portfolio ranges from the restoration of historic landmarks—such as Henry VIII’s Netley Castle—to the delivery of sustainable housing communities, industrial estates, and large-scale, mixed-use city centre commercial hubs.
Each project is guided by a dedication to craftsmanship, meticulous attention to detail, and a deep respect for the unique character of its location. We strive to enhance every environment we work in—minimising environmental impact through sustainable practices and intelligent, future-focused design.
A New Era of Continuing Success at Cavendish & Gloucester
Cavendish & Gloucester is proud to embark on an exciting new chapter, building on over five decades of success shaped by the vision and leadership of Peter Murphy.
Today, that legacy continues with the next generation at the helm. Peter’s son, James, and daughter, Madeleine, bring fresh leadership and a forward-thinking perspective, while remaining deeply committed to the values that have long defined the company.
“It’s gratifying to see the next generation take the reins. They bring fresh energy and perspectives while staying true to the company’s values. I’m confident that Cavendish & Gloucester will continue to contribute meaningfully to the property industry and society as a whole.”
