Case Study: Grand Union Housing Group
With an ethos that echoes our own, Grand Union Housing Group believes in putting people at the fore-front of their business.
Grand Union has been providing affordable housing since 2008
Boasting four subsidiary housing groups, one which specialises in providing accommodation and support to people with learning disabilities, Grand Union has been providing affordable housing since 2008. This reputable housing group is responsible for over 11,000 homes in Befordshire, Northampton and the surrounding counties and as an ethical business has communities at its heart.
