In his new role at Habinteg, Mr Grainge will be responsible for all areas of asset management including strategy, planned and reactive maintenance, and compliance servicing.
He said: “I’m excited to be joining an organisation that has a long history in delivering quality accessible homes.
“I’m looking forward to working with Habinteg’s executive team, the business and tenants to oversee planned improvements in our maintenance contracts and the delivery of our stock investment programme.
“Habinteg is committed to offering well-maintained homes where tenants feel safe and know how to get in touch when something isn’t going to plan.
“I’ve already begun work with our team of surveyors and compliance experts to transform the reliability and responsiveness of our repairs system.”
Nick Apetroaie, chief executive of Habinteg, said: “Russell brings a wealth of experience that will help us improve repairs and maintenance, allowing us to offer customers a robust, responsive and quality service.
“We welcome his expertise and look forward to improving our homes for all current and future customers.”
Habinteg, which has more than 3,300 homes, joined the PlaceShapers group of landlords in March this year.
