bpha announces the appointment of Professor Paul Leinster CBE as
its new Chair of the Board effective from 23 April 2018. Professor
Leinster takes over from Robert Burgin who retired from the post at
the end of March having completed a term of office.
Paul is a Professor of Environmental Assessment at Cranfield
University whose career started with BP, followed by various
corporate roles including positions held at Schering Agrochemicals
and SmithKline Beecham. Paul joined the Environment Agency in 1998
and was appointed Chief Executive in 2008, a post he held until
2015.
Kevin Bolt, bpha's Chief Executive, said: "We are delighted to
be able to appoint Paul as bpha's new Chair. He brings a wealth of
high level private and public-sector experience, as well as a clear
vision of the importance of housing in the development of the
Oxford to Cambridge growth corridor.
"His corporate background experience at the Environment Agency
together with local connections and perspectives make him uniquely
qualified for this role and they will be invaluable to bpha in the
implementation of our ambitious future plans."
Professor Leinster said: "I can draw many parallels between work
that I have been involved in at the Environment Agency and the
challenges facing modern housing associations. I am excited at the
prospect of being able to contribute to the future development of
bpha, my 'local' housing association. bpha is uniquely positioned
to meet the challenges of providing much needed new homes in an
area that will undergo considerable change as the Oxford to
Cambridge growth corridor becomes established."
