About Us
Discover our story, mission, and the team behind Housing Data Lab—dedicated to transforming data into actionable insights for housing leaders.
What started as a request from one housing provider to better understand their financial performance has grown into a comprehensive suite of reports covering all areas and directorates.
For some customers, we produce bespoke insight reports for individual directors; for others, we deliver an annual board presentation.
In 2022, we began building our self-service platform, which, to our surprise, is now just as popular with consultants and service providers as it is with housing associations.
Our core offering, the Exec360 report, is our most popular service and a pleasure to deliver for each customer every year.
We’re a small team that values close working relationships with our customers. We work on one report at a time, giving each customer our full focus, a quicker turnaround, and a level of care you won’t find elsewhere.
We strive to be at the forefront of innovation when it comes to comparative analytics and strategic insights.
Our statistical analysis approach to peer selection is years ahead of what anyone else in the sector is doing. Whether it’s linking insights across more datasets, building tools to support report writing, or providing interactive (or paper!) reports in new formats, we’re always looking for better ways to help decision makers see their organisations more clearly.
We want every director to recognise those blue and yellow graphics and know they’re the most insightful, reliable, and genuinely useful reports in their toolbox.
