Housing consultant to list on London Stock Exchange

摘要

A social housing consultancy set up by a group that includes former Housing Corporation chief executive Steve Douglas is to list on the London Stock Exchange. Altair, which was set up in 2010 to provide professional advice to local authorities and housing associations on their housing options, is to seek a stock exchange quotation by transferring its business to an existing non-trading company listed on the London Stock Exchange. In a statement, the firm said the deal to transfer the business to General Industries (GI) was designed to "create an organisation with capacity to be a comprehensive one-stop shop for any organisations involved in housing to get consultancy advice and support."
