Quote from Mark Davis, chief executive at J Tomlinson
Mark Davis, chief executive at J Tomlinson, commented: “We are delighted to announce our shortlisting for the Northern Housing Awards’ coveted ‘Contractor of the Year’ title.
“Working within over 80,000 occupied homes per year, J Tomlinson’s approach is centred around the provision of excellent customer care, resident engagement, efficiency, community benefits, and value for money.
“We take a partnership approach to social responsibility and community investment that surpasses the standard ‘client/contractor’ relationship and are really proud to appear as finalists alongside some of the most prominent housing organisations in the North.
“The Covid-19 pandemic has challenged all sectors, including housing, and it really is excellent to see so many organisations making significant contributions to transforming and enhancing the lives of individuals and communities in the face of adversity. Congratulations and best of luck to all finalists.”
