New partnerships
We’ve begun formal discussions
with Viridian Housing to explore
the possibility of forming a
new partnership. Together,
AmicusHorizon and Viridian own
44,000 homes.
Paul Hackett, our Chief Executive
said: “Working together we can build
on our track record of engaging with
residents to deliver sector-leading
customer services. Economies of
scale will enable us to provide great
customer services at lower cost. By working
together we can create the capacity to build more
homes, more quickly than we could alone. We plan
to build thousands of homes in thriving new mixed
tenure communities.”
In the meantime, we’ve also been selected to
acquire Southwark and London Diocesan Housing
Association (SLDHA). It means 277 homes across
London will transfer to AmicusHorizon next year.
We were chosen by the SLDHA Board, following
a competitive process involving eleven housing
associations. We believe our values and sector
leading performance placed us in a strong position
during the process. One of the unique selling points
of AmicusHorizon is our commitment to ensuring
residents are at the heart of everything we do.
There will be consultations with residents and staff
in due course, should both Boards agree to move
to the next stage of talks.
Resident award winner
Involved resident, Joyce Foy, has been officially
recognised for her hard work in supporting her fellow
residents.
Our Residents’ Council presented Joyce with
the annual ‘Dorn Moller Award’. This is a special
award given to a resident who’s made a significant
contribution to their local community.
Joyce, who lives in the East Kent region, has
campaigned for local issues over many years
and is keen on listening to and involving local
residents. She’s made a massive contribution in the
Millfield area, helping start the Lady Dane Tenants’
Association, being a board member of Swale Housing
Association and representing residents on the East
Kent Area Panel.
Well done Joyce and thank you for your hard work and contributions.
