History
Hanover Housing Association was formed in 1963 and was named after Hanover Gate, the West Gate into London's Regent's Park, where the first Board meetings of the Association were held.[1]
The Association managed almost 19,000 mixed tenure Retirement and Extra Care properties on more than 600 estates.[3][4]
The proposed merger of Hanover Housing Association and Anchor was announced in May 2018, and was completed successfully later the same year, creating Anchor Hanover Group.[2]
Dr Stuart Burgess CBE was Chairman of the Association and Clare Tickell was the Chief Executive until the merger with Anchor.
