Nigel Wilson, Chief Executive Officer at Gentoo Group, said: “At Gentoo we believe everyone deserves to live in a good quality, secure home and I’m delighted to announce our major investment plan for this year. This demonstrates our significant ongoing commitment to enhancing our existing properties.
“We know that it’s extremely important to our tenants that we’re actively investing in their homes and I’m pleased that over a third of our properties across all areas of the city will receive improvements during 2021/22.
“The current climate is still challenging, and I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate our commitment to continuing to follow COVID-19 Safe Systems of Work at all times to help keep our tenants, contractors and colleagues safe.”
This year’s investment programme is part of our 2019-2024 Business Plan which will see more than £300 million invested into our existing homes and neighbourhoods over the five-year period.
If you are a tenant and your home is part of the schemes, you will be contacted directly by our teams or our contracting partners.
