Rob Young Appointed New Chair of Prima Group’s Board
Liverpool-based housing association, Prima Group, is delighted to announce that it has appointed Rob Young as its new Board Chair.
Bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience in housing, Rob, who is now retired but was previously Group Chief Executive of Helena Partnerships and Torus, will lead the Prima Group Board. He will work with Prima Group's committees and directors to oversee the new Corporate Plan with effective governance.
Following the announcement, Rob said:
"I am delighted to be appointed as Chair of Prima Group's Board. I'm looking forward to working closely with my fellow colleagues to deliver on our refreshed Corporate Plan.
"It is a key time for Prima's Board, as we seek out new opportunities against a backdrop of significant change and uncertainty across the sector, so we can build on the significant progress that has already been made since Prima Group formed in 2017."
John Ghader, Chief Executive of Prima Group, said:
"I am very much looking forward to working with Rob as Chair of Prima Group. His valuable insight and expertise will greatly assist in continuing to take us forward, helping us achieve our vision of putting our customers and our communities first.
"Rob’s business-minded approach - combined with a strong sense of social purpose - made him the ideal candidate to lead our Board over the coming years."
Rob succeeds James Boyd, who has stepped down after reaching the end of his term of office.
John Ghader added: "I would also like to thank James Boyd for all his commitment and dedication in his time as a Board Member and Chair of Prima Group.
He leaves having made a significant impact. He oversaw the consolidation of Pierhead Housing Association and Leasowe Community Homes into the larger and financially stronger Prima Housing Group - and he ensured the effective governance of the Group, retaining our G1/V1 status since 2014."
