.Three Valleys Housing chief executive Paul Eastwood has been suspended by the association’s board after allegations of staff bullying.
Mr Eastwood and Nasreen Hussain, TVH’s director of finance, were suspended last week after complaints were brought to the board’s attention at a meeting on Friday. Sources indicated that the allegations related to bullying in the organisation.
A spokesperson for the association said the step had been taken to enable a thorough investigation of management issues at the organisation.
Bob Hingston, chair of TVH, said: ‘We have a duty to deal with complaints when they are made and have acted quickly to begin a thorough investigation. These suspensions should, in no way, be seen as any admission of fault in respect of the individuals concerned.’
Mr Eastwood was previously called to a meeting at the Tenant Services Authority to discuss allegations and complaints, which led the regulator to request a governance review last year. The 5,800-home Derbyshire-based association was instructed by the TSA to commission a review of alleged high turnover of senior staff and board members (Inside Housing, 27 November).
Earlier this month, Inside Housing obtained the results of a survey in which 32 employees complained of a ‘bullying management culture’ at the company (Inside Housing, 8 January).
The TSA is liaising closely with the board of TVH regarding the issues. Following a board away day last weekend, the regulator revealed it will be meeting with Bob Hingston, chair of the association, shortly for an update on TVH’s long-term strategic direction and the outcome of its governance review.
A spokesperson for the TSA said it was looking into the situation and considering its response.
Three Valleys said there was no acting chief executive. It confirmed Greg Lomax, of independent consultancy Campbell Tickell, was providing additional management support
Inside Housing was unable to reach Mr Eastwood or Ms Hussain at the time of going to press.
