The values and mission are consistent with how I approach my work and I'm committed to upholding these in my new role. The organisation has a great heritage which needs to be preserved and enhanced for future generations. Strong finances and robust long-term planning will help achieve that and I can't wait to get started."

Ian McDermott, Peabody Chief Executive said "Phil brings a significant amount of relevant experience. He's been working at the most senior level in the sector for several years and is well placed to ensure that we maintain a robust approach to financial and risk management. This will give us the platform to keep investing in residents' homes and in locally focused services and sustainable places. I look forward to welcoming Phil back to Peabody at the start of September and I will work closely with Eamonn, Phil, and the strong finance leadership team as we manage a smooth transition over the coming months."

David Hardy, Chair of Peabody's Finance and Treasury Committee added "I'm very pleased to welcome Phil to the Executive Team. His experience and commitment to sustainable finance will support the organisation and benefit Peabody residents for the long term. He knows the sector as well as anyone and is well placed to maintain Peabody's resilience at the same time as financing our transformation and improvement. I know he'll hit the ground running and I very much look forward to working with him."
