Essex housing association announces new CFO
Essex housing association CHP has appointed a director to be its new deputy chief executive and chief financial officer.
Paul Edwards was promoted to the newly created role after three years as director of resources.
Mr Edwards previously spent six years as director of resources at Havebury Housing Partnership in Suffolk and has worked in housing for nearly 20 years.
He said: “I am delighted to take on this new role at CHP at such an exciting time for the organisation.
“The strength of CHP is its people, who are enthusiastic and passionate about providing homes and services for our customers and communities across Essex.
“I am looking forward to working with Mary, our board of trustees and my executive management team colleagues to drive forward CHP in the housing sector, helping to provide much-needed affordable homes.”
Mr Edwards is also an audit committee member at Local Space in Newham, a member of the National Housing Federation’s Financial Policy Advisory Group and the SORP working party, and the chair of the Eastern Region Finance Directors’ network.
His appointment comes six months after that of chief executive, Mary Gibbons. She said: “Since working with Paul, I have been really impressed, particularly in terms of his knowledge, technical expertise and his ability to lead.”
CHP is a charitable housing association managing almost 10,000 properties.
