Housing association names new Board members

Plus Dane Housing has announced the appointment of three new Board members.  

Former Halton Borough Council Chief Executive David Parr, community activist Earl Jenkins, and Chartered Accountant Suzanne Horrill will be joining the Merseyside and Cheshire-based housing association.

The appointments follow the introduction of a new governance structure within Plus Dane earlier in the year, which created three new committees — Purpose, Foresight, and Audit and Assurance — to look more in-depth at specific aspects of the organisation’s functions. These replaced four existing committees.

In addition, now reporting into the Board is the new Customer Assurance Panel, made up of Plus Dane customers, to make sure that the customer voice is reflected, valued and aligned to the work of the organisation.

Board Chair Sir Peter Fahy said: “We are delighted to welcome Suzanne, David and Earl to Plus Dane. While these new Board members share our social purpose, they bring with them a wealth of different experience and will provide a fresh perspective to our decision making.”

The Board appointments come as Plus Dane turns to developing its corporate plan for 2024 – 2027, which will focus on the organisation’s social purpose and take account of current and future operating environments and regulatory requirements.
