  • Announcement of new CEO

    Posted 27 February 2026

    We are pleased to announce that the Board has appointed Simon Parkes as the new Chief Executive Officer of Lincolnshire Housing Partnership (LHP).

    This appointment follows an extensive recruitment process launched in December 2025, which attracted a strong field of candidates. We are very grateful to the customers and colleagues who were involved in the recruitment process.

    Simon joins LHP from Keele University, where he has served as Interim Chief Operating Officer since July 2025. He has led a wide range of corporate and operational functions, including governance, compliance, digital, student services, communications and organisational transformation.

    Throughout the recruitment process, Simon demonstrated a strong alignment with LHP’s purpose and brings extensive leadership experience which will support us in delivering safe, high-quality homes and strengthening connections in our communities across Lincolnshire. Simon is well known to LHP, having served as Non-Executive Director from December 2018 to December 2024, during which time he also chaired the Finance Committee and was the Senior Independent Director.

    He previously spent more than eight years at the University of Lincoln, where he served as Chief Operating Officer and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, building strong connections across Lincolnshire’s communities.

    In addition to his previous Board role at LHP, Simon has served as a Non-Executive Director at Northern Lincolnshire & Goole NHS Foundation Trust and as Chair of Finance Committee and Lay Canon at Lincoln Cathedral.

    Anthony Read, Chair of the Board, said:

    “On behalf of the Board of LHP, I’m delighted that Simon is joining us as Chief Executive Officer. Simon brings with him a wealth of experience in leading and managing change in large organisations.

    “He has a strong customer focus and I’m looking forward to working with him as we continue to improve our services and communities.”

    Simon Parkes said:

    “I am grateful to the Board for offering me the enormous privilege of serving our colleagues and our customers as Chief Executive Officer of LHP. I look forward to meeting customers and colleagues, listening and learning about the things we do well and the things we might do even better.

    “Working with our partners and our customers, we can help create places to be proud of and I am looking forward to getting started.”

    The Board would like to thank Shaun Harley for his leadership as Interim CEO since July 2025. During this period, Shaun has provided stability and direction, and oversight of sustained performance and delivery of organisational change programmes, including the first phase of changes to our repairs service.

    The Board would also like to thank Nicola Ebdon, who supported the organisation as Interim Deputy CEO, and all the Executive Team for their leadership throughout this period.

    Simon will start his role from 7 April 2026, and we look forward to welcoming Simon to LHP.
