Flagship Group and Suffolk Housing Society have announced that they are in talks to consider working in partnership, with Suffolk Housing potentially becoming a subsidiary of Flagship Group.
Talks are at an early stage, but the boards of both organisations have agreed that working together could generate more opportunities to invest in local communities. They share a vision to deliver excellence in customer services across East Anglia and to drive forward new thinking about how to meet the housing challenges faced in the region.
Speaking about the plans, Carole Taylor-Brown, Chair of Suffolk Housing, said, “By pooling our experiences and resources we will make faster progress.
“Most encouragingly, Flagship appreciate the importance of continually improving services to residents and share our purpose to provide homes for those who need them most. By joining forces, we can create an enhanced offer for our customers as well as increased career development opportunities for colleagues.”
Peter Hawes, Chair of Flagship Group said, “We are in very early stages of talks, but we believe that by working together we can better meet the challenges faced by all housing associations to deliver more homes, better services and continue our strength for years to come.”
