Homes for Scotland (HFS) has appointed Fionna Kell to the position of Director of Policy.

Responsible for developing and driving forward the organisation’s wider policy objectives as set out in its recently published five-year strategy, her initial focus will be on the Scottish Government’s Housing Beyond 2021 discussion paper and newly established Infrastructure Commission.  

Previously Inward Investment Manager at Clyde Gateway, Fionna is a qualified town planner with a Masters in economic development and experience in a range of planning, property and economic development issues in both public and private sectors.

She said:

“I am delighted to be joining HFS at such a pivotal time for the industry, with the need to increase housing delivery of all tenures also high on the radar of both the public and policy-makers.

“I look forward to engaging with members and key stakeholders over the coming months on the challenges which need to be overcome if we are to successfully achieve this.”
