It is with profound sadness that the family of Steve Blight announce his passing at the age of just 61 after a lifetime dedicated to his beloved family and the running of BPC Group, the property group he founded in April 1996.

Over almost 30 years as managing director Blight expanded BPC Group into a highly respected brand name in the new homes and land buying sectors within the property industry.

Born in March 1964 and educated at Broxbourne School, Blight, known affectionately as “Blighty” by his friends and family, entered the property industry working for Adam Kennedy in Enfield before going on to establish BPC Group with a vision of the group becoming a leader in the housebuilding industry.

Over time the business expanded, offering a comprehensive range of services to housebuilders including land buying, new homes sales, recruitment and digital marketing. BPC Group gained a prestigious portfolio of clients including Berkeley Homes, Weston Homes, Crest Nicholson, St James, Taylor Wimpey and Fairview New Homes amongst others. Many clients felt that “Blighty” and his team were an integral almost “in-house” part of their business.

In 2021 the group celebrated 25 years of trading, and it was a matter of deep pride for Blight that his son Harry joined the business and worked for the group as a Land Manager.

His family describe Blight as an impressive character who was full of fun and life, enjoyed golf, holidays with family and friends and doing charity and property industry networking events. He was also passionate about developing young talent in the property industry.

Steve Blight is survived by his devoted wife Emma, son Harry Blight, step-children Daisy, George and James, and grandchildren.
