The Norton Group Story
Firm foundations
The Norton Group has a strong and distinct pedigree within overseas property development, dating back to the late 1970's when the current Chairman, Paul Norton joined his father to work on substantial contracts in Saudi Arabia.
Until this point, the business and its subsidiaries had specialised in the field of electrical engineering but seized the opportunity to develop and expand into general construction. Major turn-key construction contracts ensued from both the Government of Saudi Arabia and members of the Saudi Royal family.
These prestigious contracts included the design and build of a dining hall seating 800 people for HM King Fahd Ibn Abdulaziz at Riyadh, no less than three royal palaces for HRH Prince Naif Ibn Adbulaziz and a further two royal palaces for HRH Prince Mohammed Al Faisel and HRH Prince Faisel Ibn Fahd at Al Khobar, Jaddah, Taif and Riyadh respectively.
In 1999, Paul Norton and his team returned to the UK to explore further development opportunities and designed and built prestigious care homes in Manchester and Liverpool.
After exploring the saturated Spanish market, Paul turned to its emerging Moroccan neighbour and today, the Norton Group is making its mark there as a credible developer with trust and integrity at the heart of its operations.
Looking forward
Whilst leaning on its heritage and ensuring its principals of trust, integrity and quality live on, the Norton Group is a progressive, forward-thinking organisation.
We plan to expand and develop our activity in Moroccan real estate over the next ten years. However we place more value on the quality of our work and maintaining our working ethos, than on the volume of property that we build and sell.
We are nonetheless excited about the potential Morocco holds and are sure our customers and investors will share in our enthusiasm and confidence.
Buying a slice of Moroccan life is more affordable than in many other overseas destinations and there is already an established and increasing demand for quality buy-to-let properties. Capital growth is set to be significant with estimates of between 15% and 30% being achievable - excellent news for our customers and shareholders alike.
