Hyde was established in 1967 by a group of professional businessmen who wanted to provide great quality homes for those left behind by the market. They are, and always have been, a social business. Their founders combined this strong social purpose with the entrepreneurial drive and professional skills to make it a reality.
Hyde have always believed that a social tenancy improves people’s life chances and helps them thrive in a number of ways. It contributes to their wellbeing – that is, it helps them to realise their potential, enjoy their environment, work meaningfully and contribute to their community.
