announcement - Karbon Homes Group
Newcastle-based Leazes Homes
set to join Karbon Homes Group
The green light has been given for
affordable housing provider Leazes Homes to join the Karbon Homes
Group as a subsidiary.
Both Leazes' and Karbon's boards gave
their approval to the partnership this week, after considering
customer and colleague feedback and due diligence
checks.
It will see Karbon provide management
services for Leazes' 759 homes from 17 June 2024, when its existing
partnership with Your Homes Newcastle comes to a close.
The move will further strengthen
Karbon's presence in the North of England, where it already owns
and manages almost 32,000 homes.
Paul Fiddaman, Chief Executive of
Karbon Homes Group said: "We're delighted to be welcoming Leazes
Homes to Karbon. At the heart of this decision lies a shared
commitment to provide high-quality homes and local services to
Leazes' tenants.
"Like Karbon, Leazes offers a range of
affordable housing options to people in need, from family homes, to
supported living for older people and those with additional
needs.
"Together, we're determined to have an
even greater impact on improving people's lives and our communities
across the North."
During a six-week consultation, Leazes
tenants had the chance to share their views, leading to a positive
response to the proposal.
Dawn Keightley, Chair of Leazes Homes
Board said: "Our tenants are at the centre of decision making, and
I'd like to thank everyone who provided feedback during the
consultation period.
"We're very pleased to be joining
Karbon. With the depth and breadth of services Karbon offers, we're
confident we can continue to deliver excellent services to our
tenants, now and in the future.
"We are looking forward to the
opportunities this partnership will bring and the positive impact
it will have on our tenants and their homes and
communities."
