Caroline Goodman
Head of Homeownership and Leasehold, Plus DaneAs Head of Homeownership and Leasehold I oversee all aspects of the services we provide both to Homeshub’s portfolio of homes.
I have worked within Homeownership for 21 years, starting my career as a Surveyor which gave me a great foundation to build upon. I never tire of the passion which comes from the sector.
Every day I see the difference we make to customers’ lives through providing a diverse range of housing products and services. Whether that be supporting customers on to the housing ladder, providing them with a great rental home or supporting them though their time in occupation, the ‘value add’ is evident.
