Between them they bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in key areas of focus for our organisation and will help us deliver on our core purpose.

"Over the last few years, we have seen how important having a warm, safe, affordable, home is to the health and wellbeing of families in our communities. We are committed to providing quality, sustainable homes, providing a great customer experience, and being a local-community focussed organisation, that will continue to provide affordable homes for many years to come.

"Having the right skills, experience, and expertise within our group board to support this is critical to our success. I am sure that our new non-executive directors will play a key part in helping the wider Two Rivers Housing team, as they continue to deliver for our tenants and communities."
