On 1 April 2025, we completed our merger with Melin and we're now Hedyn.

Hedyn will provide improved services for our residents, and allow us to offer better opportunities to our colleagues.

We'd like to reassure our residents that our services will continue as usual throughout this time, and we'll continue to share our journey with you.
