How are we doing?


Our quarterly performance update

We are committed to providing excellent services to our customers.

We measure ourselves against a number of key performance indicators, which we update every quarter to see where we are doing well and where we need to improve.

We report on performance to our executive team, Board and Customer Services Committee. We also involve residents in scrutinising performance and suggesting improvements, through our Resident Panels.
