Jewson Partnership Solutions (JPS) has secured an up to 10-year contract worth up to £20 million
with Saxon Weald, one of the largest housing associations in Sussex.
The two organisations will partner to support residents in Saxon Weald’s 6,900 rented and shared
ownership properties, ensuring ongoing support to improve homes and communities.
As part of the contract, JPS will launch a managed store for Saxon Weald in Horsham, providing
operatives with access to JPS’ hand-selected range of products that are identified as key to
housing associations’ building and maintenance requirements.
JPS has also provided Saxon Weald with access to AVAIL, its automated replenishment
technology, which ensures stock levels are always maintained and materials can be accessed by
customers out of hours.
Scott Cooper, Managing Director of JPS, said: “Saxon Weald has some very specific objectives in
terms of what it wants to offer its residents, the local community and its teams. The organisation is
customer-led, forward thinking and inclusive, which aligns with our own priorities at JPS.
“Working together, we’ll better support the people on the ground who ensure those values are
embedded into every single Saxon Weald property and community, so they can achieve the highest
possible standards of housing. With our managed store, and by providing the business with access
to AVAIL, we will help Saxon Weald continue to achieve its objectives, maintaining its reputation as
a well-respected, committed housing provider with people at the heart of its business.”
Kath Hicks, Executive Director of Customer Operations at Saxon Weald said: “Ensuring we provide
the highest quality repairs service to our customers is at the heart of what we do as a housing
provider. The partnership with JPS will support us to achieve this, both through the provision of the
managed store and access to local branches across our operating area. We are excited by the
potential of the AVAIL system and the benefits this should deliver in terms of customer service.”
