The National Home Improvement Council (NHIC) has appointed Anna Scothern as its new Executive Director.

With over 20 years' experience in the housing and wider built-environment sectors, Ms Scothern is committed to 're-energising' the NHIC.

The organisation said she will make the NHIC both a valuable resource for its members and a national force to be reckoned with at government level.

Whilst at BRE, Ms Scothern established the National Centre for Excellence in Housing, a JV with NHBC which was the precursor to the Zero Carbon Hub.

She also set up the National Refurbishment Centre which supported industry partners with an ambition to raise the energy performance of the UK's existing stock.
