Thrive Homes, the housing association with over 5,500 homes across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Oxfordshire, has announced the appointment of Kate Still as the new chair of its board.

Still was previously the chief operating officer at Castleoak, a Wales-based later living development company.
