Andy Winter began working for Brighton Housing Trust in 1985 and has been Chief Executive since 2003.  In the 1980’s he was a councillor on the old Brighton Borough Council.  He is active on social media, presents a weekly podcast and blogs on social policy, the work of BHT and anything else that takes his fancy.

In 2014 Andy was named ‘Inspirational Leader in Housing’ by the Chartered Institute of Housing and Inside Housing magazine.  He is a member of the Board of the Brighton and Hove Chamber of Commerce and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.  He has been a member of Sussex County Cricket Club for many years and, tragically, a lifelong supporter of Stoke City.
