Mears, the provider of support services to the Social Housing

Jason Burt was previously a senior partner at Plexus Law,
specialising in complex employers' and public liability claims and

structures, driving good working and health and safety practices.
Jason will Chair a newly formed Health, Safety and Environment
Committee and be a member of the Audit and Risk Committee.
Roy Irwin has significant experience in the social housing
sector, culminating in being Chief inspector of Housing for the
Audit Commission as part of a career of over 30 years in housing
which included being a Local Authority Housing Director and a
Housing Association CEO. Since 2013, Roy has held the position of
Non-Executive Chairman of Mears' Registered Providers of social
housing with the Homes and Community Agency. Roy will also join the
Remuneration Committee.
During the year, two of the Group's Non-Executive Directors
reached 9 years' service and as such did not offer themselves for
re-election at the Annual General Meeting. As such, Michael Rogers
and David Hosein ceased to be directors with immediate effect.

About Mears
Mears today employs over 15,000 people, providing services in
every region of the UK. In partnership with our Housing clients, we
maintain, repair and upgrade the homes of hundreds of thousands of
people in communities from remote rural villages to large inner
city estates. Mears has extended its activities to provide broader
housing solutions to solve the challenge posed by the lack of
affordable housing. Our Care teams provide support to around 20,000
people a year, enabling older and disabled people to continue
living in their own homes.
We focus on long-term outcomes for people rather than short-term
solutions, and invest in innovations that make a positive impact on
people's quality of life and on their communities' social, economic
and environmental wellbeing.
