Thrive Homes is a professional landlord providing homes where people can thrive. Our business is built around the importance of a home as the foundation that enables individuals and families to build and sustain the lives they want. We own and manage around 5,000 homes throughout Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire delivering much-needed homes for social and affordable rent, intermediate rent, leasehold, shared ownership (with Thrive OwnHome) and private market rent (through Thrive Places). We are focused on increasing housing availability and affordability in one of the most expensive parts of the UK. Achieving a fair deal for our customers is a priority for everyone at Thrive. In 2019, we introduced the Thrive Deal to ensure that we are clear with our customers about what they can expect from us (our 'offer') and what we expect in return (our 'ask'). We pride ourselves on being a great place to work and are proud to hold Investors in People gold accreditation.
