Over the last 12 months Ongo has completed and commenced work on over 100 homes in Doncaster, with plans to deliver more in the coming years.
Historically they have operated exclusively in North Lincolnshire, but in recent years have expanded operations into other areas. These include Skellingthorpe, Scotter, Keelby, Blyton, Gainsborough and more activity in the central and eastern areas of the City of Doncaster.
This is part of their aim to invest £83.1million into their existing homes and build a further 225 each year, over the next ten years.
