Coopted Board MemberCosmopolitan Housing Group Aug 2012 - Mar 2013LiverpoolWith the endorsement of the then regulator HCA and the then Housing Minister I was one of four people who joined the Board to help rescue 'Cosmo'. Severe governance failings and financial mismanagement left it at acute risk of insolvency. It's size and national profile meant lenders and credit agencies watched hawkishly to see whether the regulator had the necessary levers to pull it back from the brink. The sector risked losing its safe haven status with investors. A smooth & successful takeover was eventually achieved by Sanctuary. The 'near miss' and lessons learned from the Cosmo rescue were later described by HCA as having a 'defining impact' on its approach to regulation of the entire social housing sector. -
