London housing charity parent names new board members

Mr Disley-Tindell has spent the past 25 years at London-based Telereal Trillium.

Mr Green has worked at Liverpool Street Capital Advisors for nearly three years and before that spent five years as chief executive of Norfolk-based house builder Halsbury Homes. 

Dolphin Square Charitable Foundation also announced that it has added two new members to its board committees, which support the main board. 

Katherine Russell, the newly appointed director of build-to-rent for the John Lewis Partnership, has joined the foundation’s acquisition, finance and development committee. 

And Janice White, head of repairs at Essex-based Estuary Housing Association, has been added to the organisation’s operations committee. 

Once their time on the committees finishes, it is hoped they will join the organisation’s board, Inside Housing understands.  

Olivia Harris, chief executive of Dolphin Living, said: “These appointments to the board and committees bring the full scope of expertise to match our ambition to deliver top-level customer service while growing our portfolio and increasing the number of people we support.”

Andrew Giblin, chair of the board, added: “We welcome the financial and operational expertise that Paul and Jason will bring to the Dolphin board and look forward to the insight that Katherine and Janice will bring to our committee meetings.”

Dolphin Living was formed in 2005 and initially funded through gifts from the Dolphin Square Trust from the sale of Dolphin Square in Pimlico, central London. 

It made headlines in 2014 by buying the New Era Estate in Hackney, rescuing its private rent tenants from a 10% rent rise.
