The Shack Cast is something refreshing in the social housing sector. As well as our interviews we will be carrying out some special events. This page will highlight them.
A growing number of housing management systems providers are ducking and diving in a world of acquisition and mergers. So, how are you as the landlord being affected?
You have:
Aareon UK – Now owned by TPG.
Capita One – Going through the process of being acquired by MRI Software
Civica – Now owned by Blackstone.
Designer software (Or HomeMaster) – Steady as she goes….
MIS Active Management Systems Limited – Steady as she goes…
MRI Software – Who will they acquire next?
NEC Software Solutions – Some will remember Northgate.
OmniLedger Ltd. – With their Pyramid solution, they do what they do…
Rubixx -Steady as she goes…
SDM Housing Software – Recently acquired by Volaris Group from the US.
How does this affect you as a landlord now, or perhaps in the future? Looking to procure, and unsure what is happening with all these companies? Is it a good thing? Does it worry you?

Our Host: Matt Baird of the Social Housing Round Table
Of his ventures, the most well-known is The Social Housing Round Table, a free weekly networking event for anyone and everyone to try and create change for the sector. It takes place on Zoom every Tuesday at 11am and with sessions covering everything from complaints and customer services through to sector culture and the risk register, it’s a place to encourage the sector to be honest with itself and truly get to the core of how we can make much needed change.
Finally, his recruitment business, which has recently partnered with Spirehouse, prides itself on truly recruiting ethically and understanding the industry. Matt has sourced a wide range of positions, from niche positions to CEOs across Councils, Housing Associations, Charities, and Domestic Abuse Services nationally, providing a bespoke tailored service as no two Social Housing providers are the same.
Matt Baird has supported the Social Housing sector for over 11 years in various roles, including Host of The Social Housing Round Table, Co-Chair of Spring Housing’s Board, Social Housing Recruiter, and host of events like the 2023 South-West CIH Conference.
