Two new non-executive directors join the Clarion Housing Group
Board
Clarion is pleased to announce that Gavin Barwell and Tom Smyth
will join the Clarion Group Board as non-executive directors. Their
appointments will take effect from 16 December 2019.
Gavin served as Chief of Staff to Prime Minister Theresa May
from June 2017 to July 2019, having previously served as the
Minister for Housing between July 2016 and May 2017 and as the
Member of Parliament for Croydon Central from 2010 to 2017. He was
also a councillor for the London Borough of Croydon between 1998
and 2010.
Since his time in office he has continued to take an active role
in housing, speaking at a wide range of events, commenting on
policy, funding and influencing opportunities to help the sector to
advance its agenda in a challenging and changing landscape.
Tom is Executive Vice Chairman, Financing Advisory and an
Advisory Partner at Rothschild & Co, one of the world's largest
independent financial advisory groups. During his 23 years at
Rothschild & Co, Tom has advised the boards of the biggest
listed and private equity owned companies on their funding, risk
management and treasury strategies.
During his career, Tom has also advised numerous organisations
in raising debt in the capital markets and is a qualified member of
the Association of Corporate Treasurers. Tom will replace Tania
Brisby as Chair of Clarion's Treasury Committee when Tania stands
down in February 2020.
David Avery, Chair of the Clarion Housing Group board commented:
"I am delighted that Gavin and Tom are joining the Board. They join
a strong team of non-executive directors with the skills and talent
to help to run the largest social landlord in England. These two
appointments now complete the refresh of our board due to
time-served retirements."
Gavin Barwell commented: "I have long been a champion of the
role played by housing associations in tackling the housing crisis,
having been fortunate enough to witness first-hand the vital
contribution they make, during my time as Housing Minister. I look
forward to continuing to contribute to the sector by joining an
organisation committed to building homes and communities for the
long term."
Tom Smyth commented: "The provision of decent and affordable
places to live plays an essential role in social mobility, which is
why I am a passionate advocate of housing associations. Clarion has
the ambition and capacity to drive, fund and deliver these
much-needed homes and I'm delighted to have been given the
opportunity to use my own expertise to play a part in this."
