Paul Hackett CBE

@NatalieElphicke @johngaryorr @KateNHF @UKParliament Great to see you @NatalieElphicke. Look forward to catching up in Dover at some point.

Great to join @PaulHackett10 @johngaryorr @KateNHF & South East housing colleagues to discuss the importance of supporting social housing and housing associations in @UKParliament this week. A vital part of the housing sector - delivering affordable homes and so much more.

Good long read from @carlbrownE17 in @BuildingNews on the pressures facing housing associations as the economy bites. With comments from @PaulHackett10, @G15London chair Geeta Nanda and @JPrestwichHsg #ukhousing

We’re doing all we can to make sure @NHSEngland workers benefit from quality new homes at @ASPHFT. We officially celebrated the completion of phase one of our development at St Peter’s Hospital in Chertsey, Surrey. Read more here: bit.ly/3U0W9m0

@PaulHackett10 Great to hear from you, Paul! It was a lot of fun :) And in case you’re interested, here’s our day 2 video.

Wish I could have joined you, but a lot on right now. Hope it was a great reunion.

On behalf of everyone at @optivohomes our deepest condolences to the Royal Family on the passing of Her Majesty the Queen. Her selflessness and sense of public duty will endure as an inspiration to the nation.

@PeterShanks82 Thanks Peter, really fascinating discussion. Looking forward to applying your paradox model of hybridity and institutional logics to G15.

It’s Employability Day and we’re sharing some stories from the 1379 people we’ve helped into jobs and training in the past year. Jordan is part of our KickStart programme, helping young people into jobs. He says: “It’s opened up a lot of doors.” #empday22 #wefillvacancies

Sheila volunteers with our Legal Team. She says: “It’s really opened up my future and they’ve been really helping me gain back my confidence.” bit.ly/3xs2QUf #empday22 #wefillvacancies

Ella gained a permanent role with us after joining our KickStart programme for young people. She says: “After six months, I was offered a permanent job at Optivo.” bit.ly/3xs2QUf #empday22 #wefillvacancies

This morning, we told leaseholders that Optivo won’t pass on any costs for fire safety remediation works for historic defects to their buildings. This includes work carried out relating to interim fire safety or management costs (like Waking Watch). More: bit.ly/3LAomLy

This is really positive news from @optivohomes. 👇

"Do we need a nationally-set minimum threshold for on-site provision? My view remains that national and local policy should require a proportion of on-site affordable housing" @optivohomes CEO @PaulHackett10 on the proposed Infrastructure Levy #ukhousing housingtoday.co.uk/comment/we-mus…

#Kudos @optivohomes @PaulHackett10 and team. Hopefully the first of many HA's that will provide this long awaited financial #safety to their leaseholders. 👍

@jamestickell Sorry for your loss James. He leaves a great legacy.

@HenryPryor No, access to the list is need based and restrictive. The rules were changed to bar those not deemed to be in genuine need (rather than demand). Thus substantially reducing waiting lists.

Council house waiting lists ‘could double as Covid support ends’ due to structural under-supply of #AffordableHousing, and ongoing depletion of stock through #RightToBuy. #ukhousing independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
