Farewell to our Chief Investment Officer Ian Joynson

Our Chief Investment Officer, Ian Joynson, will be leaving in early 2026 to become Chief Executive of West Kent Housing Association.

Since joining us in 2024, Ian has played a key role in shaping our investment approach, supporting transformation, and laying strong foundations for the future.

Our Chief Executive Elizabeth Froude, said:

“Ian has made a significant impact during his time with us, helping to shape our strategy and strengthen the organisation for the future. While we will miss his contribution, we are proud of all he has achieved and are delighted to see him take this next step in his career. Becoming a Chief Executive is an important milestone and West Kent are gaining a talented and committed leader.”

Ian added:

“My time at Platform has been hugely rewarding, and I am proud of what we have achieved together in a relatively short space of time. I have valued the chance to work with such talented colleagues and to help shape the foundations for the future. The opportunity to become Chief Executive at West Kent is one I simply could not turn down, and while I am excited about what lies ahead, I will leave Platform with great respect and appreciation for the people and the work of the organisation.”

Recruitment for Ian’s successor will begin immediately.
