MITIE, the outsourcing and energy services company, has appointed Peter Griffin as its new social housing director with responsibility for consolidating its existing social housing offering under a unified national business.
With a 30-year career in the construction industry, and having held the position of group managing director for EPS - a company specialising in repairs, refurbishment and maintenance in the social housing sector - from 2001 until 2009, Peter brings a wealth of experience in the social housing sector to the role.
Mr Griffin joined MITIE in 2009, when EPS was acquired by MITIE, where he took up a national strategic role working on projects across the division. He specialises in social housing maintenance and renewable energy services. He has experience of traditional contracts and partnering-style arrangements and has overseen new build, responsive maintenance and refurbishment contracts of all sizes.
Bill Robson, managing director of MITIE's Property Management division said:
'Peter's expertise of the social housing market will be invaluable to enhancing our social housing business and I am confident that his knowledge and skills will bring many benefits to our clients in this sector.'
