Triple Honour for South Liverpool Housing

South Liverpool Housing (SLH) are in the running for three awards at a national awards ceremony which aims to shine the spotlight on people and teams that are doing great work in the housing sector.

They have been shortlisted in the Housing Heroes Awards for ICT Team of the Year, Inspirational Colleague of the Year and Inspirational Mentor of the Year. 

The event is organised by Inside Housing magazine and the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH), and attracted a phenomenal response with submissions from the length and breadth of the UK.

The winners will be revealed at a glittering awards ceremony at London’s Hilton Hotel on 14 May hosted by TV presenter, Antarctic explorer and Atlantic rower Ben Fogle.  The awards are sponsored by Campbell Tickell, EMA, Asset Skills, Synergy Group and The Hire Standard. Last year more than 700 people attended.

Howard Farrand, the President of the CIH said he was amazed by the fantastic people working in the housing sector. “Our sector spends a great deal of time talking about policy and strategy, business plans and budgets, our visions and our mission statements. Of course all of these things are really important.  But in my experience it is the extraordinary people that do fantastic work for our customers that make the real difference. So I want to congratulate every finalist for getting this far in these awards. It was extremely tightly contested, and I look forward to helping to unveil the eventual winners in May.”

Inside Housing’s events director Ted Stevens said: “All the finalists have done brilliantly in getting this far. Well done to South Liverpool Housing for getting shortlisted. The competition was really fierce with more than 40 entries in some categories.”

Julie Fadden’s chief executive said "SLH have been shortlisted again for 3 awards in the prestigious Housing Heroes awards which recognise the extraordinary contribution our people make to enrich the lives of others we serve.  We are very proud of everyone at SLH, and will be cheering for our ICT team led by Ian Cresswell, our mentor Christine Flanagan and our very inspirational colleague, Paul Dow - all of whom deserve to win - whatever the result they will always be winners to me!!"
