Magna Housing achieves Aico’s Housing Professional Quality Standard

Magna Housing is proud to announce that it has become one of the first organisations to achieve Aico’s Housing Professional Quality Standard, marking a significant milestone in its commitment to delivering exceptional safety, quality, and service for its customers.

Aico, the European market leader in home life safety, has now introduced the Housing Professional Quality Standard to recognise partnering organisations which demonstrate superior competency, best practice, and an ongoing commitment to professional development. By achieving this new status, Magna Housing has set the benchmark for excellence within the sector.

“We are absolutely delighted to be one of the first housing providers to receive this recognition from Aico,” said Paul Purkis, Compliance Manager at Magna Housing. “This achievement reflects our dedication to consistently raising the bar for safety within our homes. It highlights not only the skill and expertise of our installation teams, but also our commitment to investing in industry-leading training and technologies that keep our customers safe.”

Magna Housing is a forward-thinking, community-based housing association dedicated to creating great homes for people across the South West. With a strong commitment to safety, sustainability, and innovation, Magna supports thousands of customers through high-quality services and well-maintained homes.

Working across Dorset and Somerset, Magna Housing praised the support of Aico, whose expert training has been instrumental to their success. Aico’s continuous support has helped Magna to refine its approach to quality and compliance. Their commitment to sharing best practice and empowering organisations to raise standards has been invaluable. Magna Housing recognises the pivotal role Aico has played in helping them achieve this status.

Stephanie Lloyd-Foxe, Head of Building Safety and Compliance at Magna Housing offered high praise for Steve Bulley, describing him as “a highly respected figure in the housing safety sector. His support has made a meaningful difference to our team throughout this process. The depth of his knowledge, his practical approach, and his clear commitment to high standards helped guide us through the accreditation and strengthened the way we work. We’re grateful for his guidance, professionalism, and continued commitment to improving customer safety.”

The accreditation follows a rigorous assessment process that evaluated installation quality, compliance, training standards, customer service, and ongoing commitment to improvement. By meeting these criteria, Magna Housing has demonstrated that its approach to installing Aico home life safety products is of the highest industry standard.

Steve Bulley, Aico’s Relationship Manager for the South West, commented: “Magna Housing has shown exceptional dedication to quality and professionalism. Their commitment to achieving this standard illustrates the organisation’s focus on safeguarding residents and delivering a first-class service. We are delighted to recognise them as a Housing Professional Quality Standard Installer.”

This milestone forms part of Magna Housing’s wider strategy to ensure every home meets the highest standards of safety, comfort, and sustainability. The organisation continues to work closely with industry partners, regulators, and customers to ensure all homes are equipped with reliable home life safety systems and are professionally maintained for long-term protection.
