My academic and working life began in the areas of Civil Engineering and Law but I eventually found my way into the Social Housing Sector through regeneration. LMH is the third stock transfer housing association I have worked for but it is also my dream job.

Having been born and raised in a Liverpool Council house, I was extremely proud when I was appointed as LMH’s first Chief Executive and became responsible for negotiating the transfer of housing stock from Liverpool City Council. Following the transfer we delivered all the promises given to tenants, created a robust financial base for LMH and then began to build new homes together with diversifying the range of activities carried out by the LMH Group.

As Chief Executive I lead the executive directors in working with the Board of LMH to develop strategies that will deliver its mission to be ‘Proud of Our Homes’ and have ‘Pride in Our Neighbourhoods’. Once the strategies have been developed I then lead the various operations at LMH in making them a reality.

My role at LMH also encompasses the whole of the LMH Group including all of the subsidiary companies and their activities.

I have extensive experience as a finance director in private sector organisations. 

I am a qualified accountant and a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants. I am responsible for performance management, business development and communications, information technology, human resources and finance services.

I am a member of LMH’s Executive Management Team and have worked for LMH since 2008. Most of my career has been in housing management. However I have also managed a community safety service and Liverpool City Council's Neighbourhood Management Services. I am a member of the Chartered Institute of Housing.

I am responsible for LMH’s operational services which include asset management and property services; decentralised housing management services; income services; housing allocations; safer estates and customer involvement services. I am also responsible for LMH’s non-housing charitable activity.

My role as Managing Director for HMS is the strategic co-ordination of the activities undertaken by the company. This involves ensuring HMS meets both our business plan and contract targets whilst developing the company to take opportunities within our market.

I have worked in Repairs and Maintenance for over 20 years starting my career as a contractor’s Quantity Surveyor and moving between various senior management roles with organisations in the North West. This experience has been invaluable in enabling me to lead the company through the various economic and cultural challenges we are facing as an organisation.

Creating a company from the ground up has presented us with a real opportunity for success and growth. I'm confident that customers will recognise the real success of the company and the excellent services delivered by our staff.
