One of the largest housing groups in the Midlands and East of England, Longhurst Group provides over 23,000 homes and delivers a wide range of care and support services. Operating in 50 local authority areas, we have over 1,100 colleagues, 10 office bases and over 80 care and support locations. Our customers are at the centre of everything we do and we intend to work even harder to identify what is most important to them and provide the support they need. With a clear set of values that unite our Group, we put our customers first and work in collaboration with partners that share our ambition and vision to improve lives. The Group already makes a positive difference to thousands of people’s lives, but we want to do even more. That’s why we created our 2025 Improving Lives strategy; a long-term business plan that will guide the work we do over the next six years and beyond.
