South Northants Homes is on the move!

Northamptonshire based social housing provider, South Northants Homes (SNH), is moving into new offices at Wood Burcote House, Towcester on Tuesday 28 July 2009.

The new SNH home, which was formerly a Connexions office, was bought by SNH in February 2009 and, after a comprehensive refurbishment programme by contractor Rotunda Ltd, has been transformed into modern open plan offices.

The building has been re-designed with SNH tenants in mind, including people with disabilities. There are ample car parking spaces for visitors. Contemporary office practices have also been well catered for; as well as a Board room and meetings rooms, there are dedicated training facilities and SNH has already received approaches from the police and local community groups to use these facilities out of hours.

The building has benefited from an external face lift and has been painted in the SNH corporate colours. It boasts two white flags, one displaying the SNH logo and the other the logo of SNH’s parent company, Grand Union Housing Group. This is a significant, iconic building within Towcester and occupies a prominent position on the main road.

SNH was formed after a stock transfer from South Northamptonshire Council in March 2008 and since that date had temporarily occupied office space at two sites: in the Council offices at Springfield and Tove depot. SNH staff are looking forward to working together for the first time under one roof.

After the move all SNH contact telephone numbers will remain the same: 08454 606 888 for general enquiries; 0800 177 7001 for reporting all repairs other than faults with central heating systems; and 0800 177 7003 for reporting central heating faults and repairs. Current direct dial numbers will not be available after the move.
