New Board and Committee Member Appointments and Retirement

 

 

Accent is delighted to announce the appointment of two new Board members to
the Boards of Accent Group Limited and Accent Housing Limited, following a
competitive recruitment process.

 

Michelle Gregg and Simon Brooksbank have been appointed as Non-Executive Board
members from 1 March 2025.

Michelle brings extensive experience as a senior leader/ executive in social
housing and is a member of the Chartered Institute of Housing. She has held a
variety of board positions, recently as a Board Vice Chair and the Chair of
Customer Experience Committee with a social housing provider. Her sector
experience includes working in service delivery and transformational roles at
a senior and executive level.

Simon is an experienced non-executive director, who has held and currently
holds board positions in the social housing sector, including a Senior
Independent Director and Vice-Chair position. He is also a member of the
Northern Housing Consortium's Commercial Advisory Group. From a professional
commercial background, Simon has held executive roles with a focus on customer
understanding and engagement, market insight and commercial strategy, and he
has been involved in merger and acquisitions activity in the private sector.
He currently sits on a social housing Customer Experience Committee and Asset
and Development Committee, and is a board champion for Brand, Engagement and
Communication.

One further Independent Committee Member appointment has also been made.

Serena Heathcote will join Accent's Audit and Risk Committee as an Independent
Committee member, from 1 March 2025. Serena brings senior leadership
experience in both the public and private sectors, most recently as a director
of customer experience for a social housing provider. Serena's leadership
experience extends to financial services and energy sectors, in large
regulated, corporate environments. Serena's key skills include customer
experience, contact centre strategy and business transformation, and she will
bring a valuable perspective to the work of the Committee.

One Non-Executive Board member will retire on 1 April 2025.

Steve Pearson will retire from the Accent Boards after six and a half years of
service. Steve's unique range of skills and experience, customer focus and
partnership approach, built over 30 years of working in senior and executive
roles in social housing and regeneration, have made him an excellent Chair of
Accent's Capital Investment Committee and we wish him well for the future.
Steve's successor to the role of Capital Investment Committee Chair is Ade
Adebayo, who joined the Accent Board on 1 October 2024.
