The Welsh government’s social housing regulator has announced that North Wales housing association Grŵp Cynefin is now compliant with governance, which includes tenant services, and financial viability standards.

Last year, the regulator downgraded Grŵp Cynefin’s rating following an internal review of some parts of the business and a self-referral to the regulator.

Following the internal review, which took place in March 2023, Cynefin’s chief executive Shan Lloyd Williams and group director of resources Bryn Ellis were asked to step back from their roles, and an interim team was put in place.
