## Business segments

Berkeley’s reported business is residential-led, mixed-use property development. Its segment framework is based on management teams reporting to the Executive Committee, with teams having similar economic characteristics aggregated; the revenue categories below should therefore be read as a mix of activities, not separate segment contributions. [15](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P111881098)[16](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P71641348)[17](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P75890104)

For FY2026, revenue was approximately £2,383.3 million: residential £2,270.0 million (about 95%), commercial £110.4 million (about 4.6%), and land sales £2.9 million (about 0.1%). These figures describe revenue by type; the available FY2026 disclosure does not establish separate segment-level profit or asset contributions.

## Company history

Berkeley Homes was founded in Weybridge, Surrey, in 1976 by Tony Pidgley and Jim Farrer. The business was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1986 and expanded in 1991 through the acquisition of Crosby Homes and a 50% interest in St George. [18](https://www.berkeleygroup.co.uk/about-us/who-we-are/history)[19](https://www.berkeleygroup.co.uk/about-us/celebrating-berkeley-at-50)

Berkeley launched St James in 1996 as a joint venture with Thames Water, then acquired Thames Water’s remaining share in 2006; that year it also formed St Edward Homes in partnership with Prudential. Gunwharf Quays, a major regeneration of a former Portsmouth naval site, opened in 2001. [20](https://www.berkeleygroup.co.uk/about-us/who-we-are/our-brands/st-james)[21](https://www.berkeleygroup.co.uk/-/media/migration/berkeley-group/about-us/investors/investor-information/results-and-announcements/2006/31_october_2006_interim_results_announcement.ashx?hash=D98E8165E10D72C3461E606561A0747E&rev=3264cec7c5ed4307900b65a66faefab1)[19](https://www.berkeleygroup.co.uk/about-us/celebrating-berkeley-at-50)[22](https://www.local.gov.uk/case-studies/portsmouth-cultural-infrastructure)

Rob Perrins became Chief Executive in 2009. Following founder and chairman Tony Pidgley’s death in 2020, Glyn Barker became interim chair; William Rucker succeeded him in 2022. In 2025, Richard Stearn became Chief Executive and Perrins became Executive Chair.
