Sovereign Network Group has appointed Guy Slocombe as chief investment and development officer.
Slocombe will join SNG in February. Tom Titherington, who in April announced his intention to step down from the role, will remain with SNG until March to ensure a smooth transition and oversee the completion of existing key projects.
Slocombe joins from Hyde Group where he was chief investment officer, prior to which he was head of city investment at Nelson Bakewell and a partner at Drivers Jonas.
He was also chief executive of private equity-backed investor Clarenco and director of real estate and property fund management at Westminster City Council.
Mark Washer, group chief executive at SNG, said: “Guy will join SNG at a pivotal time as we look to drive forward one of the sector’s most ambitious investment and development strategies. We have a clear aim to deliver 25,000 new homes over the next 10 years, alongside continued investment in our customers’ existing homes to meet our Homes and Place Standard. Guy’s invaluable experience, both developing homes and leading asset management, aligns perfectly with our approach of investing for the long-term so the communities who live in our homes can thrive over generations.”
Slocombe added: “At a critical moment for housing delivery, SNG has emerged as a clear leader among developing housing associations. Its ambition is what’s needed to help solve the housing crisis, and I’m looking forward to being at the forefront of delivering SNG’s development plans while continuing to drive innovation, so we create high-quality and sustainable places for people to live in. I leave behind an excellent team with an exciting pipeline of projects. Hyde will inevitably continue to grow, and I look forward to seeing their continued success.”
