"We are delighted to welcome Michelle to Grainger. Her energy and experience will be invaluable as we continue to grow and build on our core value of 'People at the heart'. Our aim of being a top employer, welcoming to talent from all backgrounds, delivering great homes and a great experience to tens of thousands of residents, will benefit from Michelle's expertise."

Michelle Boothroyd said:

"I'm thrilled to be joining the Grainger team at such an exciting time of growth for the company.
