About Us
Welcome to Stockport Homes Group (SHG), an umbrella organisation for four socially responsible interdependent companies within the housing sector. What makes us unique is our vision: one where entrepreneurship and commercialisation go hand in hand with social impact.
We are Stockport’s largest landlord, managing over 12,000 properties on behalf of Stockport Council and private landlords as well as our own growing portfolio of new‑build homes.
As builders, landlords, architects and developers we believe in collective responsibility for more affordable housing. Equally, through a commitment to a range of wrap‑around services we look for ways to improve people’s lives: from advice and support on health and wellbeing to employment, educational opportunities and help in the home.
All our profit is reinvested within the group to maximise opportunities for those who most need our help.
Companies within SHG
Stockport Homes – Stockport Homes was formed in 2005 to manage housing stock across Stockport on behalf of Stockport Council.

We take pride in giving back to our local communities and each year we gift aid our profits to SKylight to support the work they do to help Stockport and the borough thrive.
Skylight – SKylight is a charitable community benefit society established in 2018 dedicated to transforming lives in Stockport. We work closely with local communities to support people into employment, alleviate poverty and enhance digital skills. Our services help individuals live independently while fostering strong community networks, particularly for those facing disadvantages.
