Notification of Partnership Discussions

Notice is hereby given that Longhurst Group ("Longhurst") have entered into discussions with Grand Union Housing Group ("Grand Union") around a potential merger of the two organisations.  

The proposition is based upon the close alignment of both organisations' values, future vision and the geographies in which they operate. It is also believed that the two organisations would be stronger together as a larger organisation with more resilience to respond to a challenging operating environment. The new partnership will focus on building more homes, enhancing the provision services to its collective customers, strengthening its communities and improving people's lives.

Longhurst is a charitable housing association registered in England as a Community Benefit Society (Reg. Nº. 8009) and registered with the Regulator of Social Housing (Nº. L4277).

Grand Union is a charitable housing association registered in England as a Community Benefit Society (Reg. No. 7853) and registered with the Regulator of Social Housing (Nº. L5060).
