Plus Housing Group and Dane Housing Group have joined together to create the Plus Dane Group, which launched in July 2008.

Plus Dane Group works in a unique and innovative way, describing its business as that of a 'neighbourhood investor'. We aim to spend less on running our business and more in the neighbourhoods we serve. Our business model is founded on the principle that only a radical shift in the use of our resources will improve quality of life, choice and opportunity in some areas of our society.

Our organisation has over 15,000 homes in ownership and management across Merseyside and Cheshire. Plus Dane Group employs over 400 people, has an asset value in excess of £500m, a combined development fund in excess of £210m and a turnover £45m.

Plus Dane Group brings together the resources of two already highly successful organisations. The group's Chief Executive is Ken Perry, previously Chief Executive of Plus Group. Anne Ward, previously Chief Executive of Dane Group takes the role of Chief Integration Officer for the new business, a key role in bringing the group's resources together and delivering its neighbourhood investment agenda.
