Helen Moore officially took up her place on the board of the Home Builders Federation (HBF) at the start of January and will attend her first HBF board meeting on 13th March 2024.

Helen Moore joined housing association Orbit Group in 2018 to grow its direct build capability. She was previously managing director at City & Country Group and earlier in her career worked for Countryside and Crest.

Executive chairman Stewart Baseley said: “I am delighted that Helen is joining the HBF board. She has excellent leadership, communication and presentation skills which clearly articulate a vision for our industry.

“Helen’s skills and experience across both private and affordable housing providers will supplement and enhance the skills of the existing board members. I look forward to working closely with her to try and create a better climate within which our industry can operate.”

I am very keen to play may part in creating an environment within which we can build the high quality, energy efficient new homes the country so desperately needs, at pace.”
