“It has been a particular pleasure, growing up as I did in Birkenhead to not only make a real improvement to people’s lives but to make a positive impact on the streets I love,” said Mr Hughes.
“I am particularly proud of our achievements in leading the regeneration of the Hamilton Quarter, where we led the way in restoring historic buildings whilst creating interesting homes for people and creating vibrant street frontages.”
The association’s stock size has doubled under Mr Hughes.
Incoming Mr Carhart, who was also executive director of customer services at Forviva, said: “I am delighted to be joining Wirral Methodist Housing Association. It is a strongly community focused association with an outstanding reputation.”
Wirral Methodist Housing Association was founded by eight Methodist philanthropists in 1964.
