The operating companies own and manage over 16,000 homes and provide services to more than 40,000 people.

Our vision of 'Passion for excellence; pride in performance' encompasses our commitment to deliver high quality homes and services.

The strong growth over the last three years was recognised in 2006 when Aster Group was given the 'Beacon Company' award by the South West Regional Development Agency. In the Housing Excellence Awards 2006 Aster Group was named Social Landlord of the Year and in March 2007 won the Property and Construction category in the Wiltshire Business of the Year Awards.

Aster Group is the parent Company and provides some services to our Group members. In particular it has a dynamic and growing development team and is one of the Housing Corporation’s Lead Partners. In this role it also provides development agency services to other organisations and is the Lead Investor for the New Futures partnership of regional and specialist housing associations who between them have a programme delivering around 800 affordable homes for rent and sale a year.

Aster Group operating companies have a substantial degree of operational independence but work closely together to gain maximum benefit from combined strength and resources.

Residents and other clients play a strong role in influencing the operating and surveys show that the organisations enjoy high rates of satisfaction with the services they deliver with around nine out of ten tenants saying that they are very or fairly satisfied with their landlord.

Aster recognises that its successes are a reflection of the commitment of the people who are part of the organisation. We have a strong team of board members and employees and value our accreditation as an Investor in People.
