Sian Hopkins, Head of People and Culture
Tai Tarian

We were thoroughly impressed with Altair’s partner-ship led approach. They took the time to understand our organisation and the scope of the project, collaborating closely with our teams and actively seeking feedback throughout. Their strong HR expertise and valuable insight into the housing association sector meant they quickly grasped the challenges we faced. The quality of their work was excellent, and they delivered on time and to a very high standard. We’re grateful for the positive impact they’ve had and would not hesitate to recommend them.

Suzanne Lonergan, Deputy Chief Operating Officer
Cluid Housing

We had a very positive experience with Altair. Their engagement was collaborative and highly constructive, working closely with us to ensure we maximised the value of our data. They delivered clear resident insights alongside a scalable approach that provides a strong foundation for further development inhouse as our data maturity and business requirements evolve. This work supports us in keeping residents at the centre of our decision making, helping us better understand where targeted support may be required and where as a business, we can drive efficiencies while continuing to meet the needs of our residents.
