About The Hyde Group

We’re here for our customers and the communities we serve, creating homes and places people can be proud of.

For almost 60 years, Hyde has provided affordable homes for people to help achieve our vision of a great home for everyone.

As a Group, we bring together organisations that share a commitment to providing great homes and services, and to supporting the communities we work with. Partnerships with organisations that share our values and focus on customers is part of our long-term strategy to help us do more for our customers and to meet our founding social purpose.

Today, we own and manage around 120,000 homes, making us one of the largest and most diverse housing and community services providers in the country. We provide neighbourhood services to around 350,000 homes across the country, proudly support our Armed Forces community with their housing needs, and work with critical areas of the public and private sectors, including schools, hospitals, and local councils.

We’re also using our knowledge and expertise to help more people to have a home. We’re working with our local authority partners, homebuilders, and like-minded investors, to find new ways to build more affordable homes, because we can’t stand by and wait for others to fix the housing crisis.
