Walsall Healthcare’s Chair Danielle Oum has been appointed Chair of the Board at Midlands Landlord whg.

Danielle said: “Housing and health have long been interests of mine and I’m glad to be able to support the work of both whg and WHT to serve communities in Walsall.”

Danielle replaces Mike Hew, who took over the position on an interim basis following the stepping down of Eddie Hughes MP in June.

Gary Fulford, whg’s Group Chief Executive, said: “I am thrilled to be welcoming Danielle Oum as our new Chair of the Board and my thanks go to Mike Hew for his excellent work as acting chair.

“Danielle joins us at a very exciting time for whg. We have ambitious plans to build more homes and develop our services. I have no doubt that Danielle will be a tremendous asset and I look forward to working with her in the future.”
