WORK HISTORY
Chair Designate @Peaks & Plains Housing Trust
Macclesfield, GB
Chair of Peaks & Plains Housing Association, providing strategic leadership to the Board and working in close partnership with the Chief Executive and Executive Team to ensure strong governance, effective performance and long-term sustainability.My role is to help create the conditions for the organisation to thrive: supporting and constructively challenging the executive, setting clear strategic direction, and ensuring Peaks & Plains remains financially resilient, well governed and focused on delivering high-quality homes and services for residents.A core part of my focus is building a strong, diverse and reflective Board that brings different perspectives into the boardroom, strengthens decision making and keeps residents’ voices central to how we lead and govern. Strong, inclusive governance is not a “nice to have” – it is fundamental to delivering better outcomes for residents, strengthening accountability and building trust with the communities we serve.I am passionate about modern, values-led governance in housing. Boards that are curious, outward-looking, data-informed and prepared to challenge traditional ways of working to ensure housing associations are resilient, responsive and fit for the future.
