Bristol, England, United Kingdom
I am an experienced and inspirational leader, commercially focused but with a deep commitment to social housing. I seek to drive continuous improvement through regular questioning and challenge and relish innovation and change. I take great satisfaction from empowering and developing my teams and am strongly committed to diversity, which I believe is key to fast organisational improvement. Politically savvy, I am committed to success and driven by results. I thrive upon responsibility and the opportunity to make a difference to people’s lives.
I assumed the role of Chair of the only membership organisation dedicated to partnership across the sectors involved in delivering new homes in England. In the years to come we aim to grow our influence, profile and membership and deliver considerable value for existing and new members.
I support the Chair promoting the only membership organisation dedicated to partnership across the sectors involved in delivering new homes in England and sit on the management board overseeing activity and setting strategic direction.
I co-founded Place Base to provide strategic advisory support to organisations working in and around the housing industry. In particular with strategy, funding, partnerships and political engagement.
I’m working with Social as an associate hoping to add some value with my network, partnerships expertise and policy connections – supporting Social's London team with its continued growth, and providing advisory support in areas like corporate strategy, community engagement and consultation, public affairs, ESG and sustainability.
I'm supporting the next stage of Stairpay's growth as an advisor, supporting their strategy with my experience, insight and contacts across the housing sector.
As a Council member I am part of the NHBC governing body, which comprises individual members, known collectively as the NHBC Council. Council members are drawn from a range of organisations interested in or associated with the house-building industry. I am appointed on the basis of representing The Housing Forum.
