Chief Executive Leaves HCA

Andy Rose is to leave his post as Chief Executive of the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA), to take up a new role in global infrastructure finance. In April, Andy will become Chief Executive of GIIA, a global advocacy association that represents equity investors in global infrastructure. Mr Rose joined the HCA in April 2013, at a time when the housing development industry was still recovering from the global downturn. He established a new investment function within the HCA, to help unlock stalled sites and increase investment in housing and infrastructure through greater use of equity and loans. He built up the HCA’s role as a central body within government for the disposal of surplus public land. Read more on the HCA website.
