Meet the managers

Our leadership team of managers puts the overall policies and plans of the Parkway Green board into practice.

Headed by the Chief Executive, the team leads our 175-strong workforce. Members of the team manage the day-to-day housing service, and develop long-term plans to deliver Parkway Green's exciting £90 million home improvement package.

"Parkway Green is a local organisation, serving the local community" says Chief Executive Nigel Wilson. "So the management team and I aren't stuck behind our desks all day, every day. We like to get out and about meeting local people, and hearing about the issues that concern them. Here's a bit more about us . . ."
