A new chapter begins. This marks an important moment in a journey that began with the merger of Linc and Pobl. Over the past 18 months, we’ve been working closely together, bringing our people, services and shared values into closer alignment. The name Codi was confirmed in June 2025, and now that identity becomes a reality as we formally come together as one. Today, we manage nearly 25,000 homes and provide care and support to around 17,000 people across Wales. With more than 3,000 colleagues, we are proud to be a major contributor to the Welsh economy. Looking ahead, we plan to deliver more than 4,500 new homes over the next five years, alongside continued investment in the communities we are part of. As a not-for-profit organisation, every pound we generate is reinvested, everything we do is focused on creating social value. Over the next five years, we expect to contribute around £1 billion to the Welsh economy, supporting jobs, skills, opportunity and new homes — helping to build a better future, together.
A partnership between the Edenstone Group, and Pobl Group has exchanged contracts to acquire a parcel of land at Plasdŵr – Cardiff’s new Garden City. Over the coming months, the partnership will progress plans for 181 new homes, as part of the wider 7,000-home Plasdŵr development in Radyr. Scott Sanders, CEO of Pobl Group said: "Pobl’s partnership with Edenstone is an exciting opportunity to deliver much-needed affordable homes in an area where there is significant demand. At Plasdŵr, as part of Cardiff’s growing Garden City, we’re not just building houses; we’re creating a thriving, sustainable community with a mix of tenures that will meet the diverse needs of residents. We’re excited to play a key role in this transformative development, helping to shape the future of Cardiff for generations to come."
Pobl has joined some of the UK's top businesses in coming together under the Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI) to turbocharge the UK's shift to cleantech homes. "We moved into our new home at Pobl’s Parc Eirin Development over 2 years ago. Previously, we lived in a rented property dating from the 1970’s which was costing over £400 a month in Gas and Electricity Bills. One of the main reasons for buying a house at Parc Eirin was the prospect of lowering our energy bills whilst living in a house with much lower carbon emissions due to the green technology installed."

Pobl Group has climbed two places in the Inside Housing Top 50 Biggest Builders development survey, securing the 40th spot, demonstrating the contribution Welsh housing associations are making on the UK scene. The annual report from the influential trade publication charts how many homes housing associations in the UK are building. The Group has achieved impressive milestones across the time covered by the latest report, completing a much needed 462 homes across various tenures during the 2023-24 period, a notable 27% increase from the previous year. Significantly, Pobl is ranked 9th in the whole of the UK for social rent completions with 268 homes, underscoring the Group's commitment to tackling the shortage of quality affordable housing across Wales.
Pobl Group and Linc Cymru have formally completed a merger process that brings together two of Wales’ leading Registered Social Landlords, forming a partnership that will significantly enhance the provision of social housing and care and support services across Wales. The two organisations have a shared commitment to improving communities and providing quality housing solutions for Wales, creating the right environment for people to flourish. The newly expanded group will manage more than 23,000 homes in Wales, with ambitious plans for growth to deliver more than 4,500 new homes over the next five years. The Group will employ more than 3,000 people and will be a major contributor to the Welsh economy.
Pobl Group’s Care services have recently undergone rigorous inspections from Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW), resulting in exceptional ratings. CIW inspections range from “Poor” to “Excellent,” and Pobl’s care services have set a high standard, with an inspector describing the care as “exceptional.” Six of Pobl’s care services inspected recently received “Excellent” ratings, reflecting high standards in wellbeing, care and support, environment, and leadership and management. James Wadlow, Director of Care at Pobl, expressed pride: “These excellent ratings are a testament to the hard work of everyone at our care services and across the wider Group. Achieving six excellent ratings in a few months is truly special and confirms our services as among the best in Wales.” Pobl Group’s “excellent” services include: • Supported Living in West Glamorgan • Supported Living and Extra Care in West Wales • Dan Y Bryn – Residential care home, Pontardawe • Llys Y Seren – Residential care home, Port Talbot • Plas Bryn Rhosyn – Residential care home, Neath • Trem Y Glyn – Residential care home, Glynneath James added, “I’m thankful for the Pobl Care teams – where inspectors see “excellence,” our colleagues see “normal.” The Pobl team is described as “experienced, knowledgeable, skilled, consistent, and committed… they know people well and support them to do what matters… this wealth of knowledge and strategy is the exception, not the rule.”
