Kent Housing Group Excellence Awards
Thanet council has scooped top place for its Cold Homes team in the Kent Housing Group awards.
Teams and individuals working in the housing sector across the county enjoyed success in the annual Kent Housing Group (KHG) Excellence Awards.
The awards – the Oscars for the regional housing sector – celebrate the very best projects, professionals and partnerships across housing in Kent and Medway.
KHG Chair Sharon Williams said: “I know that for all KHG members, housing delivery – whatever aspect of housing delivery that is – is a passion, not a job.
“These awards are always special. Over the years the judging panel has been touched by the passion and purpose behind the vital contributions colleagues in housing are making in Kent. The ideas, the innovation and the vision that are demonstrated illustrate the caring side of housing and the drive we have to make a difference.
“These are tough times, for our residents, our tenants and for us. We are all trying to do more with less resource, we are all under pressure to deliver. This is a challenging period but seeing so many success stories gives us enthusiasm for the art of the possible and enables us all to go back to the day job fully inspired by what we have seen and heard today.”
The winners were announced at a virtual awards ceremony hosted by Sharon Williams and Rebecca Wilcox, Chair of KHG’s Events Group. KHG is thankful for sponsorship from Kent Housing and Development Group, DHA Planning, Optivo, Paramount Independent Property Services, Golding Homes and the South East Consortium.
The Cold Homes team at TDC won the Excellence in the private sector award.
