Sovereign hires former Catalyst property boss as development director
Sovereign Housing Association has hired former Catalyst property director Tom Titherington as its new executive director for development and commercial.
Mr Titherington will begin his role on 21 January 2019 and take over from Dale Meredith, who has been interim director since Ben Denton left the role to join L&G’s affordable homes business as managing director.
Mr Titherington spent seven years as director of property and growth at Catalyst before revealing he would be leaving the company in August.
Prior to this, he was chief executive of Network Housing Group for two years and also spent 13 years as director of business development at Hyde Group.

Last month, Sovereign appointed Rita Akushie as its new interim chief financial officer to replace Mark Hattersley who left the business to join Clarion Housing earlier this year.
Sovereign was one of eight bidders to secure grant as part of Homes England’s strategic partnership programme in July. In partnership with housing association Liverty, the JV secured £111.5m to start an additional 2,275 homes before March 2022.
Mark Washer, chief executive of Sovereign, said: “While our development programme has continued to grow under the experienced and capable leadership of Dale Meredith, I’m excited that Tom will be joining our team to take forward our ambitious plans.
“We will expand our programme to build more than 1,900 news homes a year by 2022, taking more control through more land-led opportunities. I’m excited at what Tom and the team will achieve in the coming years.”
