Woven’s new chief executive Alan McKeown has begun his new role.
McKeown has joined the Northern Ireland housing association from his role as an executive director at regional economic development agency Invest Northern Ireland.
He has also held positions in the former Roxburghe District Council, the Chartered Institute of Housing in Scotland, Fife Council, The Convention of Scottish Local Authorities and Angus Council.
Neil McIvor, chair of Woven Housing Association, added: “The board is pleased to welcome Alan as our new chief executive, following a rigorous recruitment process.
“Alan is an experienced and knowledgeable professional with a clear drive and passion for the housing sector and all that it does for local communities.”

McKeown succeeds Darren McKinney, who retired as CEO in November after 21 years at the organisation.
Woven has previously announced it intends to invest £150m, including government grant funding, into new development, upgrading stock and improving services over the next five years.
Belfast-based Woven changed its name from Habinteg Housing Association (Ulster) in April 2024. The organisation is a separate entity from the Habinteg Housing Association operating in England.
