“We are delighted that The Housing Quality Network has recognised our achievement in moving from zero stars and uncertain to two stars and excellent in just 16 months. Membership of The Network represents excellent value for money and as an organisation we value all the benefits, including the free places at events, the HQN website and the bespoke briefing papers that are regularly published. The 12 months' free membership in recognition of our achievements represents a saving of around £2,000 which was an unexpected but welcome reward, particularly during this economic recession.”
Peter Brown, Chief Executive, Herefordshire Housing
