HOUSING MATTERS NOW

Housing quality and satisfied customers depend upon great asset management and procurement

With social housing finally taking a centre stage under the new Labour Government, our annual conference brings together the sector’s asset management experts to discuss how to make the most of this political momentum. As ambitious housing targets and strategic asset management rise near the top of the national agenda, this is the time to ensure that investment in peoples homes is optimised. Join housing professionals, suppliers and thought leaders in shaping the future of social housing with a focus on strategic investment and resident centred service delivery.

This is a must attend event for social landlords seeking to stay at the forefront of industry trends, innovations and best practice. The conference offers a unique opportunity to network, exchange ideas and discover cutting-edge solutions that can enhance housing management and service delivery.

From insightful keynote sessions to interactive workshops, attendees will gain valuable knowledge on key topics such as sustainability, compliance, asset management and procurement.
