Greensquare Accord has appointed Ken Youngman as chief financial officer on an interim basis.

The 26,000-home housing association has appointed Youngman following the announcement of the departure of Jo Makinson, who is taking up a newly-created role as chief investment officer at 50,000-home Abri in January.

Youngman spent 16 years as group finance director of London landlord Family Mosaic before its merger with Peabody in 2017. He has since undertaken a number of interim roles including interim CFO at Sovereign and Centrepoint.
