Catalyst’s property boss quits
Tom Titherington, executive director of property and growth at Catalyst, has quit just weeks after the London-based housing association appointed a new chief executive.
Housing industry veteran Mr Titherington, who has been an executive director at the 21,000-homes group since early 2017, is leaving the association at the end of next month to seek a different role in the sector.
His departure comes after Catalyst last month revealed it had appointed Aldwyck Housing Group’s boss Ian McDermott to take over from its current chief executive at the end of this year.
A Catalyst spokesperson told Inside Housing that Mr Titherington’s exit did not form part of any wider management restructuring.

Mr Titherington said: “After seven eventful and fulfilling years at Catalyst, I have decided to move on. I have had a great time working here and am really proud of what we’ve achieved. I leave behind a great team that will achieve great things.
“I’ve been working in housing for over 36 years at a very senior level for 24. I now want to see if I can work and contribute in a different way.”
He first joined Catalyst in 2011 as executive director of business development and market intelligence.
Rod Cahill, chief executive at Catalyst, said: “It’s been my great pleasure to work with Tom these past seven years – he is a remarkably insightful, creative and strategic talent.”
Until he leaves, Mr Cahill will take on Mr Thitherington’s duties, pending an interim appointment.
Before joining Catalyst, Mr Titherington was chief executive for two years at Network Housing Group, which he left after disagreement with its board on its future direction.
