PEOPLE ARE OCCASIONALLY asked to build towers from dry spaghetti and jelly babies at this housing association — not, fortunately, for accommodation purposes, but to demonstrate the value of teamwork. Housing Solutions Group, based in Maidenhead, Berkshire, owns and manages more than 7,500 homes with the help of 152 employees. The small organisation wins its highest positive score for taking advantage of everyone's skills (a top-11 result of 58%).
