Ms Howley, first appointed in 2003, said she will leave the 22,000-home landlord at the end of this year in “great shape” to pursue its strategy to 2040.

In 2008, Ms Howley led the rebranding of Bradford Community Housing Trust to Incommunities Group and has since overseen the growth of the organisation through mergers, stock acquisitions and new build developments.

She has worked in housing for over 40 years and served as chair of the Chartered Institute of Housing’s governing board, chair of the Northern Housing Consortium, and was on the National Housing Federation’s board. In 2017, Ms Howley was awarded an OBE for her services to housing, young people and the local community.

As Incommunities chief executive, Ms Howley has presided over the retention of multiple G1/V1 regulatory judgments, a successful bond issue and an A+ credit rating from Standard and Poor’s.

Jan Ormondroyd, chair at Incommunities, said: “During 17 years as chief executive, Geraldine has successfully led the changes which have ensured Incommunities thrives in a challenging environment.

“We are a forward-looking organisation and she leaves us with a strong platform to achieve our future ambitions. We are a growing organisation and we will now begin the search for a successor who will continue our transformation and deliver our vision for Incommunities to 2040.”

Ms Howley said: “Incommunities is in great shape, which means the time is right to move on to the next stage in my career. I’ve loved my time at Incommunities and delivering our vision of improving people’s lives has always been my mission as chief executive.

“It’s a fabulous organisation and now is the right time for a new leader to take Incommunities on the next stages in its journey.”

The recruitment process for a new group chief executive will start in the coming weeks.
