His role will ensure Accent's homes are safe, well-maintained and future-ready, with strong assurance and risk management frameworks in place.
Conan brings more than 25 years' experience in social housing and construction, including over a decade at Director level. He joins from A2Dominion, where he led asset strategy, compliance, sustainability and major investment programmes across a large housing portfolio.
