Eggington will step up from his current role as deputy chief executive at the 2,200-home housing association to take over from Amanda Tomlinson, who will retire in at the end of April 2025 after 30 years in the sector.

Eggington was selected by the BCHG board following an external recruitment exercise. He said: “I could not be happier to continue my career at BCHG. It is an amazing, community and tenant focused organisation and one I am extremely proud to be part of”.

BCHG operates in the Black Country and Birmingham.
