Chief executive of the Homes and Communities Agency, Andy Rose, is to leave the organisation.
He is joining GIIA, a global advocacy association that represents equity investors in the infrastructure sector.
Rose joined the HCA in 2013 and helped establish a new investment function within the HCA, to help unlock stalled sites and increase investment in housing and infrastructure through greater use of equity and loans and built up the HCA’s role as a central body within government for the disposal of surplus public land.
A recruitment process to appoint his successor will begin shortly.
Brandon Lewis, housing minister, said: “Andy has led the transformation of the HCA, as it has successfully created a capability to deploy investment funding to deliver new housing supply.
“The HCA has led our work to deliver over 270,000 new affordable homes over the last parliament, and to release public sector land for over 100,000 new homes.”
