摘要

Peabody has appointed Peter Vernon and Jennie Daly to its board as part of the housing association's growth plans. Vernon, who is currently the CEO of Grosvenor Britain & Ireland, and Jennie Daly, UK director of planning at Taylor Wimpey, joined Peabody as non-executive directors on 1 April. The announcement follows on from the firm's appointment of the former head of the Civil Service Bob Kerslake as chairman. Kerslake will take up his appointment in June. Speaking of the appointments, Stephen Howlett, Peabody CEO, said: "Both Peter and Jennie bring a wealth of additional experience to Peabody. Their expertise in urban regeneration, planning and investment will help us deliver even more for Londoners. Over the next few years we will significantly increase our development pipeline, improving more neighbourhoods through creative and attractive urban design and public realm enhancements, great services, and more investment in our communities." Vernon brings his experience of placemaking and regeneration to Peabody. He has been a board member of London First since 2008 and is also current deputy chair of the West End Partnership.
