The Wrekin Housing Group and Housing Plus Group are proposing to come together as one organisation. We have been looking at how we might bring our two organisations closer together to create a larger, stronger organisation that would benefit our employees, as well as our customers. Subject to all necessary consultation and consents, we are proposing to come together as one organisation in either late December 2024 or January 2025. We are now in the process of consulting with our customers regarding these changes.
