New Shelter CEO Appointed

Campbell Robb has been appointed Shelter's new Chief Executive. He takes up his appointment on 1 January 2010.

Campbell is currently the Director General of the Office of the Third Sector (OTS) in the Cabinet Office. He has been responsible for the creation of the OTS, bringing together a number of different units from across the civil service into one organisation.

He has been the lead civil servant within government on voluntary sector policy and practice, including responsibility for a large grants programme. Prior to joining the Cabinet Office he led both the campaigning team and public policy department at the National Council for Voluntary Organisations.

On announcing the Shelter Board's decision, Professor Tony Crook, Chair, said: "We are very fortunate to have been able to attract such a strong candidate to the post. Campbell brings an outstanding combination of knowledge and skills, based on substantial experience of both government service and within the voluntary sector. This will enable him to give strong executive leadership to Shelter at this critical time for housing, both in terms of providing our housing advice and support services, and our campaigning for better housing for all."
