Burnley & Padiham Community Housing - now Calico

[Mitch]

"The Company’s name has
changed to Calico Housing Ltd.
The name has been chosen because of its distinctiveness, its association with Burnley’s heritage and because it will reduce the confusion between the Company and Burnley Borough Council"
www.bpch.co.uk
It's all just the click of a mouse away.

Top Prats this week - although this name change/combined with new swanky offices happened back in July this year.

"the Company moves into its new stylish headquarters building, with welcoming reception, comfortable waiting area, children’s play facilities and discrete interview rooms, at Centenary Court in heart of Burnley a location which means, access to Company services will be much easier for customers".

Hey, what a great idea - channelling local people's money into a stupid name change, jazzy website and all those repaint jobs on Burnley and Padiham white vans hey Fred!! Note their stupid banner above the Litten Tree in Burnley centre.

Housing is 'big business' these days.

Wot next - I feel a merger coming on with Jarvis or Balfour Betty.

LOL Mitch...thanks for telling us all about this...I was gonna include a link to Calico in my community groups section...didn't realise it was anything to do with the Council originally...its propaganda reads like its just a nice friendly private housing company, but different from all the usual private housing companies!!!
