Swan has confirmed that its development director has been appointed to the role of deputy chief executive.
Geoff Pearce, who has been executive director of regeneration and development at Swan since 2014, will take up the role, following the resignation of former deputy chief executive Jamie Smith.
During his time at Swan, Mr Pearce has overseen the growth of the Essex-based landlord’s development pipeline to more than 8,000 homes and has led on the landlord’s modular housing programme.
According to Inside Housing’s latest Biggest Builders Survey, the association expected to build just under 800 new homes in 2018/19.
His appointment comes one week after Mr Smith, who spent more than a decade at the 11,000-home landlord, announced he would be departing from his role as deputy chief executive at the end of May.
Mr Pearce said: "I am delighted to be able to further my work at Swan through the position of deputy chief executive.
“I am very much looking forward to working with the board, my executive team colleagues and the wider Swan Group team to ensure that we continue to make the biggest impact across all the areas we work.
“We exist to ensure that as many people as possible have somewhere to feel at home and during this difficult time for the nation, it is more important than ever that we continue to deliver on our mission.”
