Hanover Housing Association was a British registered social landlord (RSL) and a not for profit exempt charity registered as an industrial and provident society, number 16324R,[1] up until November 2018, when the Association merged with Anchor to form Anchor Hanover Group.[2]

History[edit]

Hanover Housing Association was formed in 1963 and was named after Hanover Gate, the West Gate into London's Regent's Park, where the first Board meetings of the Association were held.[1]

The Association managed almost 19,000 mixed tenure Retirement and Extra Care properties on more than 600 estates.[3][4]

The proposed merger of Hanover Housing Association and Anchor was announced in May 2018, and was completed successfully later the same year, creating Anchor Hanover Group.[2]

Dr Stuart Burgess CBE was Chairman of the Association and Clare Tickell was the Chief Executive until the merger with Anchor.
