Following the success of Merlion, Wilde went on to form a house building company, Infinity Homes Ltd, in partnership with its Chief Executive, Alistair Baker and in 2006 the company won the prestigious "Best Small Housebuilder" Gold Award in the Daily Telegraph sponsored What House? Awards, often referred to as the Oscars of the house building industry. Wilde acted as Non-Executive Chairman of the company until it ceased trading in 2008 due to the economic downturn. The holding company of Infinity Homes Ltd was, as a result, wound up in June 2011. Merlion Housing Association, however, continues to provide affordable housing to low income families, working closely with many Local Authorities throughout the United Kingdom
