Wheatley delivers, through its three Registered Social Landlords and two commercial companies, a range of affordable housing, community regeneration, property management and tenant support services to its 70,000 customers.
Wheatley, which has an annual turnover of £ 193million, has transformed its business to ensure its subsidiaries are firmly rooted in their local communities and that staff are fully empowered to provide excellent, tailored customer services at every point of contact.

GHA to date has used technology in the Group's Customer Service Centre. The creation of Wheatley as a parent company has allowed GHA to work with its partner subsidiaries -- Cube Housing Association, West Lothian Housing Partnership, YourPlace Property Management and Lowther Homes -- to leverage the KANA Enterprise customer service suite to provide customers across multiple market sectors the best possible service, no matter when or how they get in touch. The Customer Service Centre and community-based offices across the group will use KANA Enterprise functionality, including the Agent Desktop, Knowledge Management, Case Management, Live Chat, Web Self-Service and Co-Browse, among other capabilities to ensure their diverse customers can access consistent and personalised services.
"We are determined to offer all our customers the best possible experience every time they contact us.
