Housing LIN House of Lords reception shines

With sincere thanks to Lord Richard Best for hosting the Housing LIN’s reception on the House of Lords’ Terrace yesterday, we were delighted to celebrate this annual event and also to present certificates to the 5th cohort of Future Leaders, who recently completed this rewarding year-long programme.

On a glorious sunny summer’s day overlooking the river Thames, Mark Washer, Group CEO at SNG, sponsor of the Future Leaders Programme, helped present the certificates. He said:

SNG’s investment in the Housing LIN Future Leaders Programme offers an opportunity for emerging leaders across the sector to develop their potential, learn from senior sector professionals and build connections that will shape the future of housing. I’m proud that we are supporting talented people from diverse backgrounds to take part in the programme, bringing fresh ideas, innovation and a strong commitment to improving outcomes for customers and communities.

And the Housing LIN’s CEO, Jeremy Porteus, commented:

The programme has been a runaway success and we are immensely grateful for SNG’s continued support. We look forward to welcoming the latest intake to this exciting imitative as we commence the new 26/27 programme next week.

We were also joined by Vivensa Foundation’s Katy Saunders, who talked about the SHAPE Exchange and the shape of things to come with this new UK partnership with the Housing LIN. We look forward to providing further details about this new programme in the autumn.
