Midlands HAMMAR Group

For those involved in social housing maintenance and asset management, Midlands HAMMAR is the forum for sharing information, improving knowledge and communicating with like-minded people in this field.

Our Midland Heart section in the agenda will be presented by Anthony Jarvis our Senior Retrofit Delivery Manager.

HAMMAR was first launched back in 1983 with several Midlands based Housing Associations coming together to share knowledge, information and to ‘stop reinventing the wheel'. Fast forward over 40 years later and this combined, proactive, and joined up thinking with like-minded peers is needed as much today as it was back then, and this Midlands group is re-emerging as the beacon in best practice for the region. They look forward to seeing you in October.
