Large Midlands-based landlord Platform Housing has added to its board with the appointment of four new board members, including former Sanctuary treasurer Tony King.
Platform Housing, which owns and manages 46,000 homes across the Midlands and surrounding areas, has brought in Heena Prajapat, Tony King, John Anderson and Lou Zonato as non-executive directors.
Elizabeth Froude, chief executive at Platform Housing Group, said the additions would develop the organisation’s business critical areas and add to the landlord’s “diverse and robust” commercial experience.
Mr King spent nearly two decades at Sanctuary Housing Group, where he finished as group treasurer. He was also added to the board of social housing aggregator The Housing Finance Corporation earlier this year.
Ms Prajapat, is a senior IT consultant and has worked in installing complex IT systems at a number of multi-national firms such as Rolls-Royce and G4S.
Mr Anderson joins the board as chair of the development committee. He has spent the past 20 years employed as regional chair of Berkeley Group, one of the country’s largest house builders. During his time there, he was responsible for delivering two major regeneration projects, Kidbrooke Village and the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich, both in Greenwich.
Mr Zonato has spent the majority of his career leading customer service transformation projects, and has worked for leading multinational firms such as BT, TalkTalk, EE, Deliveroo and ITV.
Platform Housing Group’s operating area is from Herefordshire in the West to the Lincolnshire coast in the East, and from the Derbyshire Dales in the North to the Cotswolds in the South. Last year it completed 1,448 homes and invested £258m into new construction.
