Launched in 2018 as a limited liability partnership, Evera aims to accelerate housing supply in Cambridgeshire and the surrounding area. It has a target to build 1,750 new homes by 2025.
Its members own and manage one in three homes in Cambridge and Peterborough.
Ms Fletcher said: “There is a real need for good-quality homes in Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and the surrounding towns and villages, and through collaborative working, Evera will play an important role in helping to meet that need.
“I am thrilled to be leading such an innovative company, and committed to doing things differently, in line with our ethos.
“It’s not just about building homes for us. It’s about creating and strengthening communities, supporting people’s well-being and ensuring that we adopt new technologies in line with our responsibility as a housing developer to help tackle climate change.
“As part of this, I have renewed our emphasis on communicating with our customers and residents and introduced air-source heat pumps into our development Coney Grange at Lakenheath, with others to soon follow.”
