Generation Rent has officially welcomed Holly Williamson as its new chief executive. Williamson was previously head of the office of Labour MP John Healey, leaving shortly before Healey became Chancellor of the Exchequer.

The announcement was made by Karen Buck, former Labour MP and now chair of Generation Rent. The report highlights the ongoing connections between Generation Rent’s leadership and the Labour Party.

This leadership change may be of interest to UK letting agents and inventory clerks monitoring developments in tenant advocacy groups.
