Stronger2gether
We’re pleased to announce that the Boards of Grand Union Housing Group and Longhurst Group have approved the proposal for both organisations to merge and form one company.
This decision was made following the assessment of a detailed business case which set out the proposed benefits of the merger and how both organisations would come together.
The Boards also took time to thoroughly assess the results of a due diligence exercise and the thoughts and feedback of customers from both organisations, who shared their views during a six-week customer consultation.
The aim is for both organisations to come together formally and legally in December under a new name and brand.
