Jewson Partnership Solutions (JPS) has launched its third AVAIL Housing Hub, to help housing providers in Aberdeen navigate the demands and challenges of supplying safe and quality social housing to residents.
For the first time, JPS has created a dual-offering Housing Hub, with customers also able to access a George Boyd concept branch on site.
Following the successful launch of its first two AVAIL Housing Hubs in Leeds and Newcastle last year, the one-stop-shop building and maintenance hub in Aberdeen will offer any operative serving social housing providers all the benefits of JPS – including stock management technology, material supply, waste disposal and expert training – to tackle changing legislation, health and safety, rising costs, and decarbonisation regulations.
A wealth of products for construction, maintenance and repairs will be made available to customers via the hub’s large external yard and warehouse, and JPS will apply its automated replenishment technology to ensure levels of stock – which are specifically selected to support social landlords with their key challenges – are always maintained.
The Aberdeen hub also includes a George Boyd concept branch, including plumbing and heating stock, electrical assortment, and a kitchen and bathroom range tailored to public sector building requirements, so operatives can purchase all the materials required for whole house solutions. The branch will offer customers a click and collect facility, for speedy access to products.
Aberdeen is Scotland’s third largest city and almost a quarter of its dwellings are socially rented either via housing associations or the local authority. Aberdeenshire, a neighbouring council area, has around 15% of its homes classed as social housing meaning that across the region there are more than 40,000 homes that could benefit from the Housing Hub’s offering.
