3C Consultants is the first organisation to join the Hub and will help landlords improve their data quality and governance. Housemark is set to announce several more partners as they work collaboratively to help landlords to make proactive, informed decisions on everything from investment, customer services, asset management and beyond.

Rob Griffiths, CEO at Housemark, said: “Harnessing and maximising the power of data is both the greatest challenge and the most significant opportunity for the sector. We’ve closely examined trends within our exclusive data, identified the challenges landlords face, and recognised the growing imperative and the drive to improve data quality.

“In response, we are working with partners and our network of over 350 landlords, inviting like-minded organisations to collaborate with us in supporting landlords to achieve more and enhance the lives of residents.

“The Housemark Hub will bring together technology solutions and data partners, providing landlords with a one-stop-shop to harness the power of data and improve the resident experience.”

The partnership with 3C Consultants offers data assurance and governance services to the social housing sector, leveraging combined market expertise to support landlords in pursuit of data excellence.

Commenting on the partnership with 3C Consultants, Rob added: “Both organisations are dedicated to supporting the UK housing sector in enhancing performance through the better use of data, ultimately improving tenants’ lives and strengthening organisational capability and capacity.”

Colin Sales, a founder and CEO of 3C, said: “We are delighted to join forces with Housemark to provide landlords with a comprehensive solution for assurance, data governance, risk and compliance. Data has never been more crucial for landlords, and our clients consistently tell us that concerns over technology and data governance are hindering progress in fully harnessing the power of data.

“This partnership brings together the UK housing sector’s leading data provider with 3C’s market-first data assurance solution, 3C Data Logic, along with our data and technology consulting and interim services.”
