Hillcrest Group of Companies\' Chief Executive, Angela Linton said: \"We are absolutely delighted to win such a prestigious and sought after award.

\"Winning Housing Association of the Year is a testament to our hardworking team, who really are the best in the business.

\"Each year we work hard to deliver the best affordable housing, excellent support services and much more to our tenants and customers. This is very rewarding work in itself but it\'s great to be recognised by our peers for our commitment to excellence.\"

In the category Hillcrest was up against stiff competition from the country\'s largest housing association, Glasgow Housing Association.
