Expanding horizons, elevating standards 

The newly formed Direct Works Group structure will incorporate dynamic divisions, each tailored to empower specific roles within the sector. The first of these, Direct Asset, will debut on 2nd October at the highly anticipated Direct Works Seminar and Networking Event in Birmingham.  Focused on the needs of asset managers and maintenance experts, Direct Asset is just the beginning. 

Over the coming months, the Group will continue to evolve, rolling out additional divisions to create a family of services, including Direct Recruitment, Direct Mentors, Direct Consultancy, Direct Procurement, and Direct Compliance. Together, these entities will offer a comprehensive, all-encompassing suite of services designed to enhance support for our members and affiliate partners, ultimately enabling Direct Works Group to deliver a more cohesive and impactful offering across the social housing spectrum. 

A Unified Vision for the Future 

Russell Thompson, Direct Works Group Chief Executive, shares his excitement about this new chapter: “With the social housing sector under immense pressure to innovate and improve service delivery, the launch of Direct Works Group couldn’t come at a better time. This new structure allows us to harness the collective power of our industry’s top minds, driving smarter partnerships and fostering a culture of collaboration. At the core of Direct Works, our mission has always been about supporting our members, and with this expansion, we are now equipped to offer even greater value, from procurement and compliance to recruitment and mentoring. The future is bright, and we can’t wait to share more about our plans in the coming months.”
