Alan Ward, Eleanor Hudson and Lucy Brown have all joined the Affordable Housing Consultancy team at Savills. Alan holds the position of Associate Consultant, Eleanor has been appointed as a Governance, Risk and Regulation Consultant and Lucy transitions to a full-time role as a Business and Project Manager with the Governance, Risk and Regulation department.
All three individuals have impressive experience prior to joining the Savills team. Alan held the position of Chief Executive at Silva Homes and Chief Governance and Strategic Growth Officer at the Abri Group. He most recently worked on the completion of a new partnership between Octavia and Abri and will be leading on Savills’ expanding partnership and merger work, to support growth in the sector.
Kelsey Walker, Director at Savills Affordable Housing Consultancy, said:
“We’re excited to be welcoming Alan, Eleanor and Lucy to the team. All three benefit from impressive backgrounds at relevant organisations and their skills help expand and deepen our support offer for housing providers across the country.”
Commenting on his appointment, Alan said: “I’m thrilled to be joining the team at Savills. Having worked at housing associations previously, I’m keen to use my existing knowledge to support my new colleagues and expand our offer to clients interested in exploring mergers and partnerships.”
Eleanor previously worked in the Prudential Regulation Authority at the Bank of England for five years, initially joining as an Analyst then progressing to be a Capital Supervisor. She’ll be involved in strengthening Savills’ sector-leading regulatory advice and assurance services, and will help to provide analysis and support across all work streams.
Eleanor said: “It’s a really important time to be joining the Governance, Risk and Regulation team at Savills. I can’t wait to get stuck into a role in housing and use my experience at the Bank of England to help our clients navigate the increasingly complex regulations in our sector.”
Lucy starts her full-time role within Savills’ Governance, Risk and Regulation department, sustaining her position as a Business and Projects Manager. Lucy will work alongside Alan and lead in some aspects of Savills merger workstream.
Lucy said: “Having worked with Savills for some time, it’s great to be able to dedicate my role fully to the Governance, Risk and Regulation team. I’ve loved my part-time role during the last two years and my new expanded role will allow me to take more of a lead with new projects and get more deeply involved in merger and partnership activity.”
