Honeycomb Group has been named the 12^th best Housing Sector organisation to work for in the UK.

The list of best 25 housing associations to work for was published by social housing magazine, 24Housing and celebrates housing sector organisations across Britain with very good levels of employee engagement.

It comes a month after Honeycomb Group was named the 41^st best not-for-profit company to work for in the UK by the Sunday Times Best Companies.

To celebrate, we asked staff from across the Group what their favourite thing is about working for Honeycomb Group.

It’s like a family away from home.”

Diane Thompson, Group Chief Executive, said: “It’s an inspiring place to work I love the fact you can you strike up a conversation with any member of staff and they ooze passion and desire to do a great job that has meaningful impact - my job is so enjoyable for that very reason.”
