Northern Housing Festival 2026

Aico, an Ei Company, is the European market leader in home life safety. We deliver a fully integrated platform that combines high-quality fire and CO alarms, all meeting UK standards, with Environmental Sensors and intelligent connected home technology to protect residents and their homes.

With both single and multi-sensors, their alarms and environmental sensors are manufactured in Ireland to the highest quality, while their advanced software is developed in Bristol, transforming real-time data into actionable insights.

By uniting trusted hardware with cutting-edge software, Aico enables the creation of safer, healthier, and more sustainable homes.

Equans is the UK’s leader in sustainable regeneration.

Our dedicated teams work tirelessly every day across the North to improve, decarbonise and maintain homes, creating vibrant, sustainable communities that people are proud to call home.

Every year, we complete more than 270,000 responsive repairs on behalf of our housing provider partners.

Through long-term partnerships, we transform homes, making them warmer and more efficient as we strive for a net zero carbon future.

Equans has been successfully carrying out energy efficient retrofit work to social housing across the UK for over a decade.  To date, we’ve helped our partners secure more than £360million of Warm Homes funding.

Our work has helped clients transform a wide range of housing types, with a far-reaching impact on the lives of residents – we’ve retrofitted over 26,000 homes through SHDF alone.

We aim to have a positive economic, environmental and social impact in local communities, which goes beyond our day-to-day work and serves to improve residents’ quality of life and boost local economies.

Last year alone, we created more than £221million of social value for the communities we serve.
