The new name for the 25,000-home organisation was confirmed in June 2025, with the full change taking effect on 1 January 2026.

Scott Sanders, group chief executive of Codi Group, said: “The completion of the merger and transition to Codi marks a significant step forward. Codi brings together the strengths and legacies of two strong organisations with shared values and deep community roots, giving us the size and scale to make a real difference while staying local to the communities we work in.”

The name Codi comes from the Welsh word meaning “rise”.

The group, which is now Wales’ largest housing, care and support provider, plans to deliver more than 4,500 new homes over the next five years.
