Our new account management structure consists of regionally based dedicated account managers who have a wealth of experience in the Social Housing and Local Authorities sectors. This change ensures that each client receives the right amount of communication and expert guidance tailored to their unique needs.
Our members will benefit from:
Industry expertise

Improved communication
Streamlined processes ensure quicker response times and foster more proactive, efficient communication.
Enhanced support
Our new structure allows for more focused and efficient problem-solving, reducing downtime and increasing member satisfaction.
On top of our regional approach, we also provide a key account management service that provides an in-depth, strategic relationship whereby we help members optimise key procurement projects on an ongoing basis, driving each member’s success and growth. By entering a strategic partnership, we nurture a close collaboration that fosters a deeper understanding of our member’s business, leading to more effective and innovative solutions – together.
The new account management structure has been live since April 2024 and each account manager has contacted their members proactively to offer insight and support based on each member’s individual needs and requirements.
We’re confident that our new account management structure will significantly enhance our members’ experience with us and and look forward to delivering exceptional service to help your organisation thrive.
