So we’ve got to be even more efficient to keep delivering new homes and good services. Our vision We were founded in 1890 to improve people’s lives and create possibilities for them. What we’re here for hasn’t changed. We fulfil that purpose, our social purpose, by providing great homes and services – including care services – to over 140,000 customers across the country. Our vision is for Guinness to: Deliver great service To be one of the best service providers in the housing and care sectors. Provide great homes To provide as many high quality homes as possible, and to play a significant part in tackling the country’s housing crisis. Be a great place to work To be one of the best employers in the country. Be a great business To be a strong and efficient business that does things well and that people can trust and rely on. Our world Over the last few years we have invested significantly in our people, systems and technologies and have a really engaged workforce. Going forward we will continue this, focusing on the core services we know matter to our customers, where there is potential to achieve better outcomes. Part of this is taking our work to map and improve our business processes and data to the next stage, so we are ever more efficient and as informed as possible when making business decisions. Clarity of expectations, strong management of performance, and skill in recruitment will be needed. We will continue to increase professionalisation, technical and management skills, and continue to invest in learning and wellbeing. We are therefore cautiously optimistic, despite there remaining considerable housing market and economic uncertainty both as the Covid-19 pandemic eases and economic uncertainty remains over a post-Brexit. Our vision to improve people's lives and create possibilities for them will need: Great service Great homes A great place to work A great business You can find out more about our plans for the future by downloading the Guinness 2023 Strategy.
