He received 61.5% of the vote compared to fellow candidate Paul Butterworth’s 38.5%.

“I am also looking forward to renewing my close working relationships with the brilliant CIH staff and the governing board. I will strive to connect with the membership and also to find ways to attract new members into the CIH to secure our future as the leading voice of our sector.”
Paul Butterworth, head of social housing at law firm TLT, said: “This campaign has been one of the standout moments of my career and I am honoured to have had the chance to run and speak to so many people about the future of the CIH and the housing profession.”
