I am a change management specialist with Prince2 and Lean Project Management experience. I have over ten years’ experience working in social housing helping to turn around underperforming teams, deploying innovative solutions, managing change and re-engineering processes. I work for the Riverside Group and was formerly at Peabody.
When I am not working, I am at home with my family which includes my wife, our two sons and two cats. I am a serving local authority councillor representing Ebbsfleet Ward on Dartford Council. I enjoy running and spending time outdoors. As National Trust members, we spend a lot of time outdoors.
I have enjoyed serving on the Chartford Board this past year and excited about the future.
As a lean practitioner, I like the notion of trial and error and being willing to test innovative ideas to see how they can deliver results for people in services. It is clear to me that Horton Housing is willing to embrace new technology and approaches as it strives to ensure everyone has the best possible quality of life. As a housing professional for over ten years, I was keen to start my Board career and will always be grateful to Horton and Chartford for giving me the chance to learn and grow as a new Board member.
I have worked in social housing for more than ten years and during that time worked as a Complaints Officer, Business Analyst, Project Manager, Change Manager and most recently in Continuous Improvement. This has enabled me to refine my skills and develop as a change and transformation professional. I hope to utilise these skills in my role on the Board.
Furthermore, I am an experienced local authority councillor and have chaired numerous committees. As Chairman, it was my responsibility to ensure the business of the committee was concluded, decisions were taken in a timely manner, and members were given fair opportunity to take part.
I welcome the learning opportunity that this position brings. I have learnt a lot during this past year having had the chance to meet Horton colleagues and hear from the people Horton supports. I hope this experience will help me grow as a housing professional.
