We are pleased to welcome Norscot as a sponsor of Housing LIN Scotland
Housing LIN is thrilled to announce Norscot (opens new window) as our new sponsor of Housing LIN Scotland, marking an exciting step forward in the commitment to advancing innovative housing and care solutions for older people across Scotland.
With 40 years of experience, Norscot is a Highland-based business specialising in manufacturing and supplying superior-quality timber frame homes, as well as replacement windows and doors for the unique needs of homes in the Scottish Highlands.
Norscot supports housing for older people by offering energy-efficient, adaptable timber-frame homes under their “WellBe” concept, designed for accessibility and low maintenance. Their kit homes and smart features enable ageing in place, while partnerships with housing associations and councils allow tailored, sustainable, and cost-effective housing solutions across Scotland.
Carla Resendiz, Product Development Manager at Norscot and Housing LIN Future Leader Programme alumna, said:
“Norscot is delighted to sponsor the Housing Learning and Improvement Network to support better housing delivery across Scotland.
We’re proud to be part of this vibrant, multidisciplinary community that showcases innovation and acts as a sector-leading knowledge hub. HLIN’s approach aligns with our vision to manufacture sustainable, accessible, and affordable products that enhance people’s lives and benefit our communities. We remain committed to teamwork, innovation, and quality — values that have defined our work for more than 40 years.
Through this partnership, we aim to learn from others in the network and share insights from our WellBe Homes range — designed and delivered via Modern Methods of Construction to promote independence and enhance quality of life.”
Jeremy Porteus, CEO of Housing LIN, commented:
“I am delighted to welcome Norscot and Carla on board as a Housing LIN sponsor. I have watched her career grow from being on the 2nd cohort of our Future Leaders Programme in 2023 to her dedication to designing and constructing quality accessible housing at Norscot. Norscot’s values align perfectly with the Housing LIN, and I look forward to our Scottish partnership.”
