About Kensington & Chelsea TMO

The TMO was formed in 1996 when the Royal Borough's tenants and leaseholders voted to take over the management and improvement of their own homes. We were the first borough-wide tenant management organisation in the UK and the only tenant led ALMO - a not for profit company providing landlord services to almost 10,000 homes in Kensington and Chelsea.

We employ about 200 staff in offices situated around the Borough and were awarded ‘three stars – excellent prospects’ by the Audit Commission in 2006.

Over the last few years the TMO has undergone change in relation to its Constitution and Board, and more recently, in relation to the Executive Team. A new Chief Executive, Robert Black, joined the TMO in May 2009. Robert is committed to developing and continuously improving the TMO, in partnership with the TMO Board, residents, staff, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) and a range of external stakeholders to ensure that the TMO makes a real difference by providing excellent services and value for money.

This is an exciting time to join the TMO and to help shape the organisation in its aim to become the best social housing landlord in London.
