Homes England’s new CEO, Peter Pennycook, has wasted no time in setting out his immediate priorities for the organization. Following his appointment in April, Pennycook has outlined a clear roadmap for the future of Homes England, focusing on driving innovation, delivering high-quality homes, and helping to tackle the housing crisis in the UK.

One of Pennycook’s key priorities is to build on Homes England’s successes in the past and to drive further improvements in the delivery of affordable housing. With a background in private sector finance, Pennycook is keen to bring his expertise to bear on the challenges facing the housing sector, and to ensure that Homes England is delivering value for money for taxpayers.

Pennycook is also committed to driving innovation in the housing sector, with a focus on using new technologies and construction methods to deliver high-quality, energy-efficient homes. He believes that by embracing innovation and working closely with private sector partners, Homes England can help to drive improvements in the quality and sustainability of new housing developments across the country.

In addition to delivering high-quality homes, Pennycook is also determined to increase the supply of affordable housing in the UK. With a shortage of affordable homes driving up prices and pushing many people out of the housing market, Pennycook sees increasing the supply of affordable housing as a crucial priority for Homes England.

Pennycook is also keen to work closely with local authorities and housing associations to help tackle the housing crisis in the UK. By forging strong partnerships with key stakeholders in the housing sector, Pennycook believes that Homes England can play a leading role in addressing the challenges facing the housing market, and in helping to ensure that everyone in the UK has access to a safe, affordable home.

Overall, Pennycook’s vision for Homes England is clear: to drive innovation, deliver high-quality homes, and help tackle the housing crisis in the UK. With a background in private sector finance and a strong commitment to delivering value for money for taxpayers, Pennycook is well placed to lead Homes England into a new era of growth and development.

As Pennycook sets out his immediate priorities for Homes England, it is clear that he is determined to make a real impact on the housing sector in the UK. By focusing on delivering affordable housing, driving innovation, and working closely with key stakeholders in the housing market, Pennycook is laying the foundations for a brighter future for Homes England and for the thousands of people across the country who are in need of safe, affordable housing.
