Willmott Dixon’s repairs and maintenance company Willmott Dixon Partnerships has created an innovative joint venture company with affordable housing provider Acis Group to deliver a repairs service to 5,500 homes in South Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire.
The Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) called Galatia is responsible for planned works, gas inspections, repairs and voids maintenance and could be a pioneer for future outsourcing models with housing providers. The new company has a five year contract, extendable for another five years, worth £25 million.
Willmott Dixon Partnerships will be investing significantly in systems and technology in the company to ensure an efficient, high quality service is delivered for Acis’ residents. It’s part of a wider commitment that includes sustained programmes of training and development for staff and community involvement.
By carrying out several services within the LLP, combined with additional investment in staff training and systems, Willmott Dixon Partnerships and Acis aim to enhance overall satisfaction levels among residents.
The contract starts in May with the focus on Acis properties primarily in the Sheffield and Gainsborough areas.
