I am a Fellow of the Charted Institute of Legal Executives and have an MSc in Corporate Governance. I am the Director of Governance and Legal for bpha Limited, as well as roles within the commercial sector, my breadth of experience also includes over 20 years’ experience working in-house in both local government and housing associations where I provided the in-house legal service, Company Secretary provision and being responsible for Data Protection and Money Laundering. I also hold a number of non-executive roles, and I am a Foundation Governor for my local secondary/sixth form school.
I wanted to become a Board member because it is an opportunity to give something back. I particularly liked the Horton Housing Group as the services that it provides are quite different to what I have experienced in my job, meaning that I can help the Board with my experience, but I am also gaining further knowledge and experience from Horton and Chartford. It is also a great opportunity to make a difference to people’s lives.
Catherine is a member of the Chartford Housing Limited Board and also sits on the Group Audit and Risk Committee (GARC).
