Annual Review 2014/15 Issue 1 | Página 3

This annual review celebrates how our residents are making a difference at AmicusHorizon. We’re proud to lead an organisation that puts its customers at the beating heart of everything we do. This year we carried out detailed research alongside the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) and Westminster University into the impact of involving residents on our business. The report; Success, Satisfaction and Scrutiny, finally provided proof of what we’ve known for years – involving our residents is the key to increasing satisfaction AND delivering better value for money. The results speak for themselves. Over the past 12 months we’ve met all our performance targets and exceeded our efficiency goals. In the areas residents say matter most to them, we’re: „„ Top for overall resident satisfaction „„ Top for repairs satisfaction „„ Top for satisfaction with handling anti social behaviour „„ Top for re let times „„ Top for satisfaction with dealing with complaints. Best of all, three of our residents picked up prestigious individual awards for their fabulous work in our communities this year. We’d like to offer our personal congratulations to: „„ M  onica Barnes, TPAS Tenant of the Year 2014 & winner of the Housing Heroes Resident Lifetime Contribution Award 2014 „„ Abba Ashmeade, TPAS Young Tenant of the Year 2014 „„ Janet Relf, TPAS Tenant of the Year (Southern Region) 2015. All three beat off strong competition from across the country and it really is an incredible achievement. Amazingly, Abba was our third young tenant in a row to win the young tenant award. Clearly, working as ‘One Team’, alongside our residents, is a recipe for success. We’ve had a fantastic year but there’s still a lot of hard work to be done before we can reach our strategic aim to be the best large landlord in the UK by 2016. We’re confident we’ll get there with the help of our amazing residents. Together we’re stronger! Our high level of resident involvement was recognised with a number of external awards and accreditations this year: „„ „„ Our Resident Monitors were highly commended at the Customer Scrutiny Inspection Awards We received a top accreditation for placing residents at the heart of co regulation – The Quality Assured Scrutiny (QAS) accreditation.
