Peterborough housing association is poised for consolidation
The Longhurst Group, which acquired Axiom Housing, based in Cottesmore Close, Netherton, two years ago in a move that was to create more jobs and homes in Peterborough, will merge its four member companies into one organisation called Longhurst Group.
Bosses say the consolidation on July 1 will improve efficiency, simplify its structure and enhance services.

Chief executive, Julie Doyle, said: “This places us in a strong position for the future and will help us deliver our ambitious 2025, Improving Lives strategy.
“The benefits include annual savings of over £500,000 and a clearer structure that will enable decisions to be made more quickly. Ultimately, it will help the Group build more homes and do more for customers.”
