Carol Dover named Two Rivers deputy chief : Housing Digital

Two Rivers Housing has appointed Carol Dover as deputy chief executive as part of a restructuring of its senior management team.

Dover joined the organisation as corporate director of resources in 2019 and has held the position ever since. She has a wealth of experience in both the commercial and social housing sectors, and was head of finance at Connexus before joining the Gloucestershire-based housing association.

Prior to this, she was deputy director of finance at the University of Worcester, and head of finance for Marches Housing Association in Herefordshire. She has also held various finance roles at commercial organisations including Wyevale Garden Centres, HP Bulmer Limited, and Kraft Jacobs Suchard.

Dover was appointed deputy chief by the group board and chief executive Hayley Selway, who took over from Garry King at the end of January 2024.

The appointment comes as part of a restructuring of the Two Rivers Housing executive team, which will also see the appointment of a new executive director of homes and executive director of people and neighbourhoods.

Dover said: “I feel very honoured to have been given the role of deputy chief executive for Two Rivers Housing. This is a special organisation that has the power to make a real difference for the thousands of families that live in our homes. I am excited about the future of the organisation and looking forward to working with Hayley and the team to deliver for our tenants.”

Selway added: “Carol absolutely deserved this appointment. It is a recognition of her hard work and dedication to Two Rivers Housing over the last five years and her desire to help the team deliver the best results for our tenants.

“I’m really grateful for her help and support over the last few months as I settled into my new role as chief exec and am really looking forward to working together to drive our organisation forward over the coming years.”
