New role for housing association’s head of legal
Yorkshire-based housing association Accent Housing has promoted its former head of legal to the role of executive director for governance and business assurance.
Matthew Sugden has been with Accent as head of legal for the past 13 years. Following an organisational restructure, the new position was created to encompass business assurance, governance and compliance, and Matthew will now tackle this role as part of the senior executive team.
He said: ‘I am very excited about the opportunity to play a key role in delivering Accent’s exciting and ambitious corporate strategy. These are fantastic times for our customers and colleagues and it is a tremendous privilege to be leading such a collective of dedicated, ambitious and strong colleagues. We are relishing the challenge to continuously improve what Accent does and the services its customers receive.’
