Godwin Developments has appointed Emma Webster to the position of associate director of partnerships to lead the company's affordable housing expansion plans nationwide.
With a ten-year track record in delivering homes for general needs and specialist housing including extra care and women’s refuge, Emma has considerable expertise in securing land opportunities as well as managing the planning and construction process to increase the provision of affordable housing.
Utilising her in-depth knowledge in the sector, she will focus on developing Godwin Developments’ long-term strategic relationships with registered providers to expedite the delivery of new homes, both apartments and houses, across the country. She will be based at the company's Birmingham head office, working closely with associate director Tom Smallbone and development manager Claudine Tracey.
Prior to joining the business, Emma worked as land manager at Bromford Housing Group, a major UK housing association, where she managed many projects across central England and the South West. Her expertise was also honed through projects delivered for registered providers such as Rooftop and Citizen (formerly WM Housing Group), where she managed regeneration schemes in Solihull alongside Solihull District Council. While at Housing 21, the specialist extra care housing provider, she sourced and exchanged on her first scheme within nine months.
She said: "There is a well-documented and urgent need to create more homes for people up and down the country that are of good quality and available for those unable to access open market properties. One of the most effective ways to address this requirement is to build more partnerships between registered providers and development companies that are committed to making a difference.
"This is why I am excited to join Godwin Developments which has clear plans to grow the UK affordable housing stock. I look forward to harnessing my knowledge, experience and relationships with housing associations and local authorities to bring forward new projects in 2022."
