One Housing appoints new chair
London-based housing association One Housing has appointed a new chair as Steve Douglas leaves the organisation.
Caroline Corby, who has been a non-executive director at the 17,000-home landlord since January 2018, will head the board from this week.
It comes after previous incumbent Mr Douglas became chief executive of homelessness charity St Mungo’s in July.
Mr Douglas was previously chief executive of Aquila, a consultancy advising housing associations, councils and government, but stepped down in April.
