Four Decades in Construction: Employee Celebrates 40 Years

Posted on: December 10, 2025

We are proud to celebrate a remarkable milestone this year as long-serving team member Reg Shuttleworth marks 40 years with Russell Armer by Genesis Homes.

Reg began his journey with Russell Armer Homes in 1985, joining as a painter and decorator on his first development at Collin’s Field in Kendal. Since then, he has played an important role on countless projects across the region, adding the finishing touches and supporting the successful delivery of high-quality homes for local communities. His dedication, reliability, and positive spirit have made him a highly valued member of our team for four decades.

Reflecting on this achievement, Reg said:
“It’s been a wonderful 40 years with the business, working across many fantastic developments and locations. I’ve had the pleasure of working with a variety of people, many of whom I’m still in touch with, and I’ve gone through plenty of paint brushes that’s for sure! I continue to really enjoy what I do and am proud to celebrate this milestone.”

Russell Armer Homes was acquired by Genesis Homes in 2021, with more recent South Lakeland and Lancashire developments now delivered under the Russell Armer by Genesis Homes brand. Reg has been part of this evolution, continuing to support our growth and the creation of communities across the region.

Our Founder and Managing Director, Nicky Gordon, praised Reg’s exceptional commitment:
“Reg embodies everything we value within the company – hard work, integrity, and pride in delivering quality homes that truly make a difference. His 40 years of service is an outstanding achievement, and we are incredibly grateful for his continued contribution to our team and our developments.”

As we celebrate this milestone, colleagues across the business extend their warmest congratulations to Reg, recognising the dedication and craftsmanship that have defined his impressive 40-year career.
