AN AWARD winning housing provider is in the running to be named as the Top Social Landlord of the Year at the 24 housing magazine awards.

Homes in Sedgemoor has fought off competition from across the country and has been shortlisted as one of the top ten companies up for the award.

Jen Barfoot, managing director of Homes in Sedgemoor said: “We only have 60 colleagues who look after almost 4,200 homes in Sedgemoor.

“However, in the past 18 months we have worked tirelessly to transform the business, making a real difference for each and every person living in our homes and communities.

“I couldn’t be more proud of us and for the way in which we have continued to go from strength to strength.”

The company, which provides housing for people across Sedgemoor, has won a number of awards this year including a Complaint Handling Business award and the Internal Communication Excellence and Effectiveness Award.

Michelle Roberts, customer focus officer for Homes in Sedgemoor, who is in charge of complaint handling said the HIS team are thrilled to have been nominated for the award.
