Accent Group Appoints New Chief Executive Officer

Accent Group, a national housing association operating extensively in the north, east and south of England has today announced Nick Apetroaie will join the organisation as the new Chief Executive Officer, effective from 1 November. Nick is currently serving as CEO at Habinteg.

The news comes three months after Paul Dolan left Accent to take up the Chief Executive Officer role at Riverside Group. Following a significant recruitment campaign, this strategic appointment is poised to accelerate the association's ambitions set out in its newly launched corporate strategy 'Building on Strong Foundations'.

Speaking of the appointment, Accent Group Chair, Tom Miskell said: "Nick is an exemplary leader whose strategic vision and expertise, strong values and customer focus align perfectly with our own."

"Under his lead and alongside our senior leadership team, we're confident of continued advancements in our operations and further strengthening of our commitment to collaborate with our customers to provide quality, lasting housing solutions."

"In the role of CEO, Nick will be instrumental in steering the strategic direction of Accent through the implementation of our new corporate strategy, building on the strong legacy left behind by Paul. With an energised and highly experienced leadership team, I am confident that the foundations in place, together with our continued strong governance and financial footing, will continue to guide us toward success."

A period of handover between Nick and Sarah Ireland, Accent's Interim CEO, will ensure a smooth transition of responsibilities in the coming months.
