Housing association Thrive Homes has appointed Alix Green as executive director of investment and growth.
Green previously worked for JLL, DS2 and Redrow Homes and has extensive consultancy, transactional and valuation experience.
Green said: “Thrive is a progressive housing association that puts its customers first. Whilst market conditions are clearly challenging, and the pressures on housing associations have never been more pronounced, it is a really exciting time for me to be joining.
“Thrive has been at the forefront of innovative initiatives in the affordable housing investment space, such as our partnership with CBRE in January last year. This created a partnership between the housing association and CBRE, which set out a proportional investment plan allowing the two companies to share the risk and return on current and future investments.
“Deals like this show that Thrive is ready to meet the challenges of the current economic situation and allow the perfect springboard for us to build our investment portfolio and manage on behalf of others to deliver much needed affordable homes for our customers.”
Elspeth Mackenzie, chief executive at Thrive Homes added: “Alix joins us at a time when we can reflect on an outstanding 12 months for us including major deals with L&Q and CBRE. Alix’s passion for innovating and shaping opportunities ensures that we will maintain this momentum. Her broader background across the sector also adds a depth of knowledge into the team.”
