The Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) aims to bolster its Governing Board with the appointment of new chair, Turlogh O’Brien CBE.

Turlogh, is chair of the L&Q Group board and also sits on the council of the University of Southampton. He was previously chair of the Construction Industry Council, and has a wealth of experience across the industry.

It was his knowledge and passion for both the housing and education sectors that appealed to CIH's recruitment panel, who voted unanimously to recommend him as chair of the CIH Governing Board.

Robin Lawler, president of CIH, said: "We are thrilled to recommend Turlogh's appointment to our membership at CIH’s AGM in June and would be delighted to welcome him to the Governing Board.

"CIH is no doubt going to benefit from his leadership and the invaluable experience he brings to this role. Our organisation is focused on growth and on putting our members at the heart of CIH.

"We have been increasingly investing in our knowledge to ensure that across our organisation we are providing housing professionals with the advice and support they need to effect change in their organisations and the communities they serve and Turlogh will be integral in overseeing this change."
