Chief financial officer Amanda Holgate has been appointed to Anchor’s board.

Holgate, who was appointed in February, has worked in the housing sector for more than eight years with recent roles including chief financial officer at Southern Housing Group, deputy finance director at Family Mosaic and director of finance services at Peabody, which have subsequently merged operations. 

Prior to entering the housing sector she gained more than 20 years’ financial and commercial experience in a range of sectors, including financial services, technology and retail asset management.

Anchor operates a unitary board structure with nine non-executive directors and two executive directors, being the chief executive and the chief financial officer.

Anchor also announced its board had accepted the resignation of non-executive director Rachael Dennis on 31 March 2023 for personal reasons.

The board thanked Dennis for her contribution and wished her well.
