Dave Richards, Chief Executive of Severn Vale Housing Society

Tewkesbury

  Severn Vale Housing Society came into being in 1998 following a Large Scale Voluntary Transfer (LSVT) of housing stock from Tewkesbury Borough Council. After a successful ballot of the council tenants involved, some 3,000 homes were transferred to the new company. The first five years were spent addressing the underinvestment in stock and planning the much-needed improvements to achieve the Governments' Decent Homes standards.

The Park Life project is particularly welcomed as it will bring the company into even closer relationships with local companies by providing space in which to promote training to provide facilities for training whilst at the same time utilising resources for the benefit of the wider community.

Stroud

    Omega Resource Group plc, originally launched as Omega Selection Services Ltd in 1998, was founded in Stroud, Gloucestershire, in the UK by three recruitment specialists. From the beginning, the prime objective was to establish a unique high quality resource solutions business, that offered innovative solutions in the rapidly changing world of employment and resourcing. At the heart of this plan was the commitment to provide a service of honesty and absolute integrity - an ethos that continues today and is rigidly adhered to throughout the Company services operation. The all-encompassing desire was simply to be the 'best in business'.

Omega Resource Group plc, with four defined service divisions, has grown exponentially, to employ over eighty full time members of staff in the UK, Poland and Netherlands, and has won numerous awards, most notably Gloucestershire Business of the Year 2008 and PWC West of England Business of the Year 2008. Through exemplary service delivery, innovative marketing and entrepreneurial flair, the company has become a significant and recognised brand of excellence and is proud to enhance these links through working closer with Gloucestershire First's Parklife Project.
