The Milton Keynes-based housing association, which operates 12,000 homes across Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire and Hertfordshire, has appointed Colin Dennis to the role.
He will be replacing current chair James Macmillan, who is stepping down from the post in September following his seven-year term on Grand Union’s board.
Mr Dennis is currently chair of Citizen, formerly WM Housing Group. He will be standing down from the position when his six-year term comes to an end later this summer.
During his time in the role, Mr Dennis led the consolidation of multiple subsidiaries to form 30,000-home Citizen.
He is also chair of North Devon Homes, a small housing association based in Barnstaple, South West England.
According to Grand Union, Mr Dennis has had a “distinguished” career in the financial and aviation sectors and has experience in non-executive roles in different regulated sectors, including the NHS, social housing, adult care and social services.
Mr Dennis said: “I’m delighted to be joining Grand Union and am looking forward to working alongside the board and with colleagues to help achieve its goals.
“While it’s a challenging time for many customers at the moment, as well as the sector itself, I am excited to see how together we can continue the great work the organisation does in the communities we serve.”
Aileen Evans, group chief executive of Grand Union, said: “We’re really lucky to have Colin join Grand Union.
“Not only is he bringing invaluable experience from across a number of different sectors, but he also shares our values and desire to do all we can to build more homes, stronger communities and better lives.
“I’m looking forward to working with him and continuing our work to make a difference to our customers’ lives.”
