We are Touchstone, we are property managers, we are part of the Places for People Group. Places for People are placemakers; our work impacts on the lives of people across the U.K. providing homes to live in, communities to retire to, spaces to stay active, supported homes for independent living, and student accommodation. Our places work when they work for everyone.
How do we do all this? By surrounding ourselves with Process Driven people, Commercial people and Innovative people. Our people live and breathe our SPIRIT values; we are the place for spirited people.
We recently embarked on a journey to make Touchstone a brilliant place to work and believe having employees who feel happy about working here plays a big part in this. In 2018 we won Employer of the year, at the Property Week all-star management awards and we are proud to continue our journey to become a brilliant place to work.
