Customers and staff can now get regular ‘tweets’ from Halton Housing Trust.
The Trust has joined the latest internet phenomenon, Twitter - a free social networking and micro-blogging site that enables users to send and read other users’ updates known as ‘tweets’.
This means anyone can now keep up to date with the latest Trust news and events, 24 hours a day, from anywhere in the world.
The Twitter page also gives customers the chance to give feedback to the Trust and to learn more about the work the Trust is carrying out in their local community.
Alongside the more traditional means of communication, Twittering gives staff and customers the chance to interact with the Trust online and via their mobiles. The Trust has also developed its own Facebook webpage and shortly intends to have a regular Blog site for staff, which would be regularly updated by the Trust’s Chief Executive.
Noel Sharpe Director of Customer Services said: “We are keen to engage with our customers in new and innovative ways and the launch of a Twitter page is another channel for us to do so.
“One of the Trust’s themes in our Corporate Plan is to be seen as ‘Inclusive and Open’ and the launch of our Twitter page is another step in achieving that goal.
”Customers wishing to follow the Trust’s Twitter page can do so by logging on to www.twitter.com/haltonhousing.
