23 June 2025

 

Orbit Group Limited (the "Group") has announced the appointment of Manpreet
Dillon, Michelle Dovey and Paul Crawford as non-executive directors to its
Common Board.

 

The appointments aim to further strengthen Orbit's new governance structure,
which came into effect on 1 April 2025, and saw its Orbit Housing Association
Board combine with its Orbit Group Board to create a 'Common Board'
underpinned by six Committees. The new appointments are the latest step in
Orbit's enhancement of its governance structure to ensure it has strong
customer representation and a wide range of strategic capabilities that can
effectively oversee all aspects of its operational and strategic direction to
support the delivery of its 2030 Strategy
(https://orbitgroup.org.uk/about-us/our-2030-strategy/) .

 

Commenting on the appointments, Stephen Jack, Group Chair, said: "We are
delighted to welcome Manpreet, Michelle, and Paul to our Board. They each
bring extensive sector experience and a breadth of skills that complement
those of our existing members. I have no doubt that their appointments will
serve to enhance the effectiveness of our governance processes, as we guide
Orbit in delivering on its ambition to provide amongst the best customer
experience of any housing association in the country."

 

Manpreet Dillon has four years' experience as a member of Orbit Housing
Association Board, along with wider sector experience in both executive and
non-executive roles, including senior leadership positions at Legal &
General Affordable Homes, Sage Homes, Grainger Plc and Catalyst Housing Group,
and non-executive roles at Hyde and Shelter. Manpreet brings strategic and
operational insight in leading organisations through change, including service
delivery and redesign, digital transformation, and culture.

 

A financial risk management specialist, Michelle Dovey's non-executive
experience includes multi-national corporate, not-for-profit and charity
organisations such as Southern Housing, Crystal Palace Housing Association and
Riverside Group. In addition, Michelle has held executive roles with
organisations including Informa plc, Mobico Group plc and Imperial Brands
plc.  Michelle's strategic oversight experience focuses on financial risk
management, technical treasury management and financial governance.

 

Paul Crawford is a qualified social housing professional, having worked for
over 30 years in the sector, including 15 years as a CEO. Currently Chief
Executive of LiveWest Homes, Paul's leadership has enabled LiveWest to achieve
G1, V1 and C1 ratings from the Regulator, along with top-decile TSM
performance in satisfaction across rented and home ownership tenures.  In
addition, Paul is an experienced non-executive and executive director focused
on designing and implementing organisational strategy and change management.

 

Manpreet, Michelle and Paul join the Board with immediate effect.
