With a focus on the Hemel Hempstead down centre, both parties will work together to drive delivery of new affordable housing units.

The partnership is currently developing its first strategic business plan.

“At Hill, we are passionate about creating sustainable and inclusive communities that have a lasting positive impact,” said Andy Hill OBE, founder and group CEO at The Hill Group.

“It provides an approach to involve the private sector at an early stage to leverage their expertise from the outset.”
