Anne Costain has been appointed to the role of executive director of finance at Stonewater.
Ms Costain has worked at Stonewater as director of corporate finance since August last year and previously held finance roles at a number of other major housing associations.
Her appointment comes three months after the 32,600-home landlord announced that its current executive director of finance, John Bruton, will step down from his role in December this year.
Ms Costain will work closely with Mr Bruton over the next few months, with the appointment becoming effective from 1 October, in order to allow a full handover before he steps down, Stonewater said.
Prior to joining Stonewater, Ms Costain was interim director of resources at Thrive Homes.
Before that, she held several finance roles at Radian (now part of Abri), where she worked for seven years.
Ms Costain is a chartered accountant and a member of Southern Housing Group’s finance committee.
Nicholas Harris, chief executive of Stonewater, said: “Anne is ideally suited to the role and her appointment reflects the strength of Stonewater’s finance team.
“Her experience will bring both continuity and astute insight to the business and I look forward to working with her as part of our executive group.”
