Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Baroness Taylor of Stevenage, said: “I welcome the appointment of these new non-executive directors who will be valuable additions as the Regulator continues its vital role in raising standards so that social housing providers deliver quality homes and services for tenants.”
Bernadette Conroy, Chair of the RSH Board, said: “I am very pleased to welcome our new non-executive directors to the RSH. John and Robert bring considerable knowledge and expertise in senior executive roles which will enhance the Board’s collective skills. I am looking forward to working with them.”
