Laurie Naumann, one of Kingdom’s founding members and current joint Vice-Chair, was recognised in the Outstanding Contribution to Housing Award for his work within the sector for over four decades.
Kingdom Group Chief Executive Bill Banks said, “Kingdom was shortlisted for 16 submissions at the CIH Scotland Housing Awards this year which is a record for the Association. Credit goes to everyone across the Kingdom Group for their dedication and commitment to delivering exceptional work for our customers, whether those customers are internal or external.”

At Kingdom our mission is to provide more than a home and having such a broad range of entries shortlisted shows how much is being done by the team to deliver on that mission.”
