Starting retrospectively in November 2025 and running to March 2041, the partnership will include a focus on sustainability and social value, supporting Guinness’ pledge to achieve net zero carbon by 2050.

Guinness chief executive, Catriona Simons,  said: “We are delighted to welcome United Infrastructure as one of our five new long-term partners, and for them to have formally signed our Planned Investment and Major Works contract.

“These partnerships demonstrate our shared commitment to investing in and improving residents’ homes and marks the beginning of a relationship we expect to grow and strengthen in the years ahead, as we work together to deliver lasting benefits for our residents.

“Residents are central to this partnership. When selecting our partners, we placed residents’ priorities at the front of the process.

"Their feedback, ranging from the importance of clear communication to consistently high-quality works, directly shaped our decisions and will continue to guide how these partnerships operate day to day.”

Social Infrastructure chief executive, Claire Kershaw, added: “We are proud to be one of the partners selected for The Guinness Partnership’s planned maintenance and investment programme.

"This long-term partnership gives us a fantastic opportunity to deliver vital improvements to thousands of homes across the North West, while supporting Guinness’s vision of great homes, great services and strong communities.

“Our focus will be on making a real difference by delivering high-quality, energy-efficient and safe homes, with a strong commitment to resident satisfaction and social value investment. We look forward to working closely with Guinness and their partners to deliver real, lasting impact across the region.”
