The group operates through four main entities: Hallam Land, HBD Property Development, Stonebridge Homes, and Banner Plant.

Stonebridge Homes was established in 2010, initially as a joint venture between Henry Boot and its founders. At the end of 2024, Henry Boot completed a 100% equity acquisition for up to £65 million.

In 2023, it reported revenue of £94.4 million and an operating profit of £5.9 million, with a medium-term target of delivering 600 homes per year.
