We’re pleased to announce that Helen Whittingham has re-joined us as our new Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
Helen returns to us after progressing her career further, bringing with her a wealth of new insights, sector knowledge and senior leadership experience. Her fresh perspective will play an important role as we continue to strengthen our financial strategy and deliver on our commitment to providing more people with a safe place to call home.
Helen previously worked as our Finance Director before leaving in 2024. Her decision to return is a powerful reflection of the positive culture, colleague support and sense of purpose that we pride ourselves on at YHG.
Helen said, “It’s fantastic to return to YHG. I’ve always admired the organisation’s ambition and its commitment to putting customers first, and I’m looking forward to contributing to the next stage of our journey. With an exciting development programme and a clear focus on delivering great homes and services, this is a brilliant time to be back and working alongside colleagues who care deeply about the communities we support.”
She is one of several colleagues who have chosen to return to our organisation after gaining experience elsewhere, something we believe speaks volumes about our colleague experience, development opportunities, and the caring, culture we’ve worked hard to build.
We’re thrilled to welcome Helen back to #TeamYHG and look forward to the impact she will make in her new role.
