Mr Edwards has held the position of director of resources at CHP for the past three years, and was instrumental in obtaining the company’s ‘A’ credit rating from Standard & Poor’s, regaining the top ‘G1’ grading from the Regulator of Social Housing in March 2018 as well as successfully delivering the issue of retained bonds in late 2017.

 

The appointment comes six months after CHP recruited Mary Gibbons as its chief executive.

 

Ms Gibbons said: “Since working with Paul, I have been really impressed, particularly in terms of his knowledge, technical expertise and his ability to lead.”
