The experienced Akojie will join the 6,000-home housing association at the end of March after Richard Lethbridge steps down as director of finance to take a career break.

Akojie has more than two decades of experience in senior executive and board roles.

Her past positions include finance director at Genesis, chief financial officer at One Housing Group and executive director of finance and resources at Hertfordshire-based Settle.
