The finance director at 20,000-home landlord Accent Group is leaving the organisation after 15 years with the group.
David Royston, who is currently the executive director of finance and ICT, will leave his post at the end of year to retire.
Mr Royston was made executive director of finance and IT in January 2018 after spending seven years as Accent’s group finance controller. He joined the group in in 2006 and spent four years as head of asset management.
Paul Dolan, chief executive at Accent, said that during his time in the role, Mr Royston had transformed the group’s financial forecasting, treasury and legacy funding arrangements, as well as heading up the deal to secure a “record-breaking” £350m public bond, with what he described as the “lowest ever coupon at that time for any housing association”.
Mr Dolan added: “We have ambitious plans to deliver at Accent, and David’s work will enable us to make substantial strides forward for our customers and communities.”
The group, which covers the North, the Midlands and the South East, said that details of Mr Royston’s replacement will be made in due course.
Last month Accent announced that discussions with PA Housing over a potential partnership had ended after the two landlords first floated the potential for a new 44,000-home association in March.
