The former director of finance services at Peabody has been appointed by Southern Housing Group as its new executive director of resources.
Amanda Holgate, who began her new role on Monday, worked as deputy finance director at Family Mosaic from 2014 until the organisation merged with Peabody in 2017, when she undertook the role of director of finance services.
Prior to working within the housing sector, she worked as a finance director at Barclays and Morgan Stanley.
Ms Holgate is now responsible for several departments at Southern Housing Group, including: human resources, information technology, governance, operational, and corporate finance.
Last year Southern Housing Group reported a 27% decrease in surplus from the previous year, caused in part by the organisation gaining less from the revaluation of its investments.
Ms Holgate said: “I’m thrilled to be joining the group at such an exciting time. The resources directorate has a crucial role to play in supporting Southern Housing Group’s corporate plan, and I am looking forward to getting to know my team and exploring the ways in which we can position the group for continued, long-term success.”
Alan Townshend, chief executive of Southern Housing Group, said: “We are in great shape financially and I have every confidence that Amanda will make a positive contribution to the group’s growth and strategic ambitions.”
