Matthew is an experienced housing sector leader with a career spanning housing association leadership, regulation and central government. He is currently Chief Executive of Lifestone Homes Group, following ten years as Chief Executive of Paradigm Housing Group. Earlier in his career, he led the social housing regulator between 2011 and 2015, where his work included changes to the regulatory framework and the introduction of In-Depth Assessments, the forerunner of today’s regulatory inspections.

“Matthew brings an exceptional combination of housing leadership, regulatory insight and hands-on experience of organisational transformation. His understanding of the challenges facing the sector, alongside his strong focus on residents, service quality and organisational performance, will add valuable experience and challenge to our Board. I look forward to working with him during this pivotal year as we stabilise and transform NHG.”
