A MID Cheshire housing trust has been named as one of the best to work for in the UK.

Weaver Vale Housing Trust has been listed in the Sunday Times Top 100 Not-for-Profit Organisations to Work For list for the sixth consecutive year and has held its place at number 18.

The trust, which employs more than 350 staff and owns more than 6,000 homes in Northwich, Winsford, Frodsham and surrounding rural areas, found out at an awards ceremony held in London.

Steve Jennings, chief executive of Weaver Vale Housing Trust, said: “It’s great for the trust to be recognised at such a high profile event but what also matters is the day-to-day efforts of our staff to deliver a high quality service to our customers.

"I fully recognise that if staff are happy in their work then they will provide an even greater service to our customers.” T

he Sunday Times Top 100 list is based on results from the independent national Best Companies survey which has been conducted since 2001 and is widely recognised as the UK’s largest definitive survey of workplace satisfaction.

Employees were surveyed for the list along with an evaluation of each organisation’s key statistics, processes and policies.
