About Guinness Partnership
Who we are
The Guinness Partnership is one of the largest housing providers in England, with a history of more than 130 years. We were founded in 1890 to improve people’s lives and create possibilities for them. What we’re here for hasn’t changed. We fulfil that purpose by providing great homes and services to over 140,000 residents across the country. It’s our residents we’re here for.
What we do
The Guinness Partnership Limited is a Registered Provider of social housing. Our core activities are the provision of housing for Social and Affordable Rent, affordable home ownership (primarily Shared Ownership) and housing for older people, supported housing and extra care housing. We are regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH) and by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
The majority of our homes are for rent at prices lower than those charged in the private market and on terms which offer far greater security. The remainder are either low-cost home ownership or leasehold homes.
Everything we do is about our residents, our neighbourhoods, our communities and our people, and the surplus we make each year is reinvested in achieving this purpose.
Where we operate
We are a national housing group, with over 69,000 homes in 144 Local Authority areas across England.
We build and acquire homes in areas where we have scale and a strong local presence, where we can maximise our impact for residents and communities.
Our Vision and Strategy
We are here to improve people’s lives and create possibilities for them. This vision, and our social purpose, remain relevant and, in the current economic climate, more important than ever. The quality of our services and homes is at the heart of our vision.
Our vision and our strategic objectives are for Guinness to:
- Deliver great service – to be one of the best service providers in the housing sector.
- Provide great homes – to provide as many high-quality homes as possible, and to play a significant part in tackling the country’s housing crisis.
- Be a great place to work – to be one of the best employers in the country. And to:
- Be a great business – to be a strong and efficient business that does things well, and that people can trust and rely on.
