Stockport Homes Group (SHG) is pleased to announce the appointment of Steve Partridge as the new Chair of the Board, succeeding Jenny Osbourne, who recently retired from the role.

Steve Partridge brings a wealth of expertise to the position, with over 30 years of experience in housing finance, investment appraisal, and business planning. Currently a Director at Savills, Steve is recognised nationally as an expert in housing finance, with extensive experience in both public and private sector housing development. His tenure on the SHG Board, including his role as Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee since 2019, has further solidified his deep connection to the Borough of Stockport and SHG’s mission.

Steve’s appointment comes at a pivotal time for SHG, with an ongoing commitment to placing customers at the heart of its service delivery. Known for his dedication to amplifying the voices of residents, Steve aims to ensure the organisation remains accountable to the Stockport community while driving positive change across its services. His strategic vision and leadership are expected to enhance the group’s ability to transform lives through housing, with a focus on innovation and opportunity maximisation.

In his new role as Chair, Steve plans to provide clear strategic guidance while maintaining a distinction between governance and operational management. He looks forward to collaborating with SHG’s Board and leadership team to strengthen service delivery, ensure continuous improvement, and create meaningful community impact.

I am delighted to become Chair and look forward to working closely with the Board and colleagues at SHG to ensure customers are at the heart of service delivery, and that the organisation continues to learn from feedback, innovate, and maximise opportunities that contribute to the Borough.
