NHF: Michael Portillo to speak at Federation's Housing Finance Conference

Thursday, 11 March 2010 12:00 AM

Former Tory cabinet minister Michael Portillo will outline what impact a new government will have on the affordable housing sector when he addresses the National Housing Federation's finance conference later this month.

Mr Portillo, who served as chief secretary to the Treasury and local government secretary during a glittering political career, has been confirmed as a speaker at the Federation's three-day conference at Warwick University, Coventry, which gets underway on March 24.

Mr Portillo, who has reinvented himself as a successful broadcaster and political commentator, will also address what a hung Parliament could mean for effective government, and how housing will fare under both a Conservative and Labour government.

Michelle Mone, the entrepreneur behind the Ultimo underwear brand is another famous face speaking at this year's conference.

Clare Miller, executive director, at the Tenants Services Authority, and Richard Hill, corporate director at the Homes and Communities Agency, will meanwhile explain the steps that were taken to set up and establish their agencies during an extraordinarily turbulent period, and what the future now holds for both organisations.

The event, which attracts a wide variety of delegates including chief executives, finance directors and board members, is the leading finance conference in the sector.

Delegate places for the event are still available. To book your place, or if you would like more information, please visit www.housing.org.uk/events, call 020 7067 1066 or email events@housing.org.uk
