In a filing, Guinness said that Mr Love “brings over 25 years of senior experience in social housing and the not-for-profit sector”.

 

Earlier in his career, he spent nearly nine years at Devon-based social enterprise Pluss, including a spell as chief operating and financial officer. 

 

Mr Love is a member of the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy and has served on several boards, including West Devon Homes.

The Guinness Partnership is currently graded G1/V2 by the Regulator of Social Housing.

 

According to its results for the first half of 2023-24, the landlord posted a total surplus of £22.6m, a drop from £36.5m in the same period in 2022-23.

 

This was due to increased net interest costs, a drop in sales income and “significant” investment in new and existing homes.
