Ashley & McDonough Wins Central Heating Scheme Installation Programme with The Guinness Partnership

Ashley & McDonough continues to experience rapid expansion, with a successful 2024 already underway. One of our most recent successes was the securement of a large communal heating scheme installation programme with the social landlord, The Guinness Partnership.

Founded in 1890 with a mission to provide great homes and services, The Guinness Partnership takes pride in being one of Britain’s largest affordable housing and care providers. They manage and own over 65,000 homes in the UK and provide care services to around 135,000 customers.

By winning this programme with the Guinness Partnership, Ashley & McDonough will install a central network that supplies heating and hot water to single building blocks that contain multiple homes and occupants within. By utilising one central boiler instead of individual boilers for each home, community heating will result in an efficient and cost-effective option for both landlords and their residents. 

It is important to us that we build partnerships with organisations that share the same values as Ashley & McDonough. Our whole ethos centres on providing quality services that, in turn, create better places to live and work. We are extremely happy that the Guinness Partnership’s values align with ours on many fronts. They strive to deliver top-quality services, improve the spaces we live in, and be a good employer and a successful business. Accepting a contract with such a like-minded organisation was a no-brainer.

The Guinness Partnership is constantly making strides towards fulfilling its purpose. After a recent re-accreditation, it became the first housing association in the United Kingdom to be awarded an enhanced accreditation status for its fantastic response to domestic abuse cases by the Domestic Abuse Housing Alliance. First accredited in 2020 for their approach to raising awareness about domestic abuse, this re-accreditation offers another fantastic achievement for the Partnership and further re-aligns their values.

Ashley & McDonough’s high standard of work and intricate understanding of customer needs impressed the board at The Guinness Partnership enough to award us the contract. We cannot wait to get started!
