McLees will take up post today (5 January) succeeding Callum Chomczuk as he moves to a new role outside of the housing sector.

The new recruit was previously head of direct let operations at Balfour Beatty Investments and is currently a director at lobby organisation More Homes More Quickly and vice board chair at River Clyde Homes.

In her new role, McLees will lead CIH’s member engagement and external affairs programme in Scotland, including helping the sector prepare for and respond to the Scottish parliamentary elections in May.
