About us

We’re Samphire

We provide homes and create sustainable communities. The work we do matters because the lives we help matter.

Our customers are at the heart of everything we do. We’re here to help when we’re needed most. We trust our people to do the right thing, to create meaningful change, where all homes are safe, and affordable, and local people feel proud of where they live.

And as part of Flagship Group, we don’t just want to make a difference to our customers and their communities – we want to solve the housing crisis too.
