On Monday 9 March, Trident said goodbye to our board member of Chris Handy who has served on our board for 6 years.
Our board provide strong, values-driven leadership as we continue to modernise, improve and grow in a sustainable way. They set strategic ambitions and oversight while also working with our Executive team to provide constructive challenge.
Chris previously was the Chief Executive of Accord, having been in the role some over 30 years, and sat as Chair of our Investment Committee.
Brian Carr, Chair of the Board,
“Chris has been a huge asset to Trident’s board during his time with us. Not only has he brought a wealth of experience and wisdom, he has brought a development-forward attitude that has been a great support to Board and Executive colleagues alike. We’ll miss him, and wish him well for his next endeavours.”
Nigel Wilson, Group Chief Executive,
“Chris leaves Trident having made a valuable contribution and the board and executive will miss his insights and knowledge, we are delighted that his place has been taken by Matt Buckham who brings extensive experience in housing services and community investment from his roles in housing delivery.”
Matt Buckham will replace Chris Handy on the board on 30 March and David Poole will be the Chair of our Investment Committee.
