Structure & Governance

Structure and Governance

Watmos is run by a management board made up of up to12 members. The board has up to six resident board members, four independent board members and up to two co-opted board members, selected for their experience and expertise.

Watmos is a tenant led organisation because its majority shareholding is held by the ten tenant management organisations in the group, each serving a local estate. This means that tenants through their TMOs appoint the Board to oversee the delivery of services based around an agreed corporate plan.  

Watmos also has a Resident Committee which consider and approve resident facing policies, gains assurance that Watmos is delivering on its service offer to residents as well as complying with Consumer Regulatory Standards.

Compliance with Regulatory Standards

The Group complies with the Regulator of Social Housing’s Governance and Viability Standard and has been awarded a rating of G2 for Governance and V2 for Viability. Watmos has adopted the National Housing Federation 2020 Code of Governance.  The Regulator for Housing is re-assessing Watmos in early 2025, where we will also receive a rating for our performance in delivering the Consumer standards.
