Synnuck said: “I move towards my retirement. I am leaving an organisation which, through the dedication of its staff and joint working with a range of partners, is achieving regeneration at scale, pushing forward with innovative ways to increase housing delivery including modular housing, all while focusing on putting our customers first.
“When I started in this sector, the transformative potential of housing associations could not be imagined. Yet today we are collaborating to build new towns which put the community first with a renewed focus on providing brilliant homes, high-quality public realm and greener communities which prioritise wellbeing and quality of life, not on just building “units” of housing.”
Synnuck’s departure follows a number of chief executive changes in the sector, with industry leaders David Montague, David Cowans and Brendan Sarsfield all leaving long-standing roles.
