Customer Committee members will be required to attend 6 meetings a year – with the Chair also attending an additional four meetings as a Board Member.

The Wrekin Housing Group’s Chair, Desmond Hudson, said:

“Fundamental to our continuing success is ensuring Wrekin places customers at the heart of everything we do. It has also never been more important to make sure we listen to our customers and ensure they have a say shaping the services we deliver.

“It is an interesting and challenging time to work in the housing sector. We are currently operating in continued economic and global uncertainty, with housing and policy related challenges to overcome both locally and nationally.

“The tenants who will join this committee and our Board  will be pivotal in helping to us make a difference to people’s lives, by applying their skills and knowledge at our Board and Committee Meetings.
