CIH President Paddy Gray said: "I am absolutely delighted that CIH is awarding honorary CIH membership to three very distinguished members of the housing community. Stewart Baseley, Michael Coogan and John O’Connor are influential figures and have all made significant and valued contributions to the housing sector.

"CIH represents people involved in housing across the UK and in a growing number of countries around the world. We take pride in being able to recognise individuals who have made a significant contribution to all spheres of the housing sector through the award of honorary CIH membership."

Steward Baseley said: "CIH has a vital role to play in helping to address the housing crisis this country faces and increasing housing supply. Its lobbying at Government level will be essential if policies are to be shaped such that they allow its thousands of housing professional members striving to build and improve communities to succeed. I am extremely proud to be made an honorary member of CIH and will do all I can to help achieve the many mutual objectives it shares with HBF."
