With several developments nearing completion throughout the county, we are pleased to announce the appointment of Anne Graves as its new Operations Manager.
Having worked in social housing for almost a quarter of a century, Anne joins the team following her role as Head of Tenancy Services for Midlands housing association Longhurst Group.
She has been appointed following the announcement that Philip Hobson, the association’s Director of Operations for over 11 years, will retire later this year.
“We’ll be sorry to see Philip go but would like to thank him for his unwavering commitment and wish him all the best for the future,” said LACE Housing’s Chief Executive Nick Chambers.
“Anne is a fantastic addition to the team and I have every confidence that she will excel in her new role. Her formal qualifications and considerable experience in housing, human resources and health and safety demonstrate her dedication to providing excellent and innovative services.”
Anne holds a postgraduate diploma in housing policy and practice and has been studying for an HR qualification.
She said: “I’m really excited to have joined such a dedicated team; it’s clear that the staff at LACE Housing are committed to delivering the very best quality of care and standard of facilities for residents and their families and I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds.”
Throughout the next two months, Philip will continue to work part time to support Anne and bring her up to speed with LACE Housing’s current processes and developments, including those in Ingham, Washingborough and Skegness.
