We've appointed a new property Managing Director

We have announced the appointment of Alan Hayward as Managing Director of Platform Property Care.  

The role will see Alan responsible for overseeing the seamless delivery of reactive, planned and compliance repairs in our existing homes, as well as focusing on the customer journey.  

Alan has more than 25 years of experience in construction services, facilities management and housing; his previous roles include senior positions for Carillion PLC, Morgan Sindall, joint ventures and national joint venture Boards.  

Alan said: “I am delighted to be joining Platform Housing Group.  I believe that the property maintenance arms of housing associations like Platform are in a unique position, with our operatives having direct access to our customers within their homes.  Although delivering repairs is a key element of what we do, our responsibility extends further to ensure we provide extra help to our customers when they need it.”  

Alan – who lives in the West Midlands – has a strong financial and commercial background and will bring that skill set to his new role.   

Elizabeth Froude, our Chief Executive Officer said: “We are delighted to welcome Alan to Platform.  His experience in property maintenance and business transformation will be of real benefit to our property maintenance company and crucially, to our customers who live in the homes we provide.”
