Information

The housing sector is characterised by the commitment, passion and flair of the people who work in it. The Housing Heroes Awards shines the spotlight on these dedicated, innovative and creative individuals and teams, deservedly recognising them at a national level.

Many of the awards celebrate the “unsung heroes” of the housing world who make a positive impact in their workplaces and communities every day of the year – everyone from the best HR, customer services and maintenance team to the lifetime contribution from a tenant/resident.

This year’s ceremony attracted more than 750 people including many industry figureheads – including leading experts from across the housing sector and representatives of the main trade / professional bodies and Government.

Entries for 2012’s Awards are now closed!
