Caren was elected as the new Chair in September 2009.

Finance - Martin Blakey
Martin Blakey is Chief Executive of Unipol Student Homes, a charity housing 2,600 students in Leeds and Bradford and a major national trainer in the area of student housing. Martin was a founder member of ANUK and Unipol designs and runs ANUK's website and administers the membership base and annual conference. Unipol and ANUK work together in running two Government Approved Codes for student accommodation under the Housing Act 2004 - the first nationally approved accreditation scheme in England and Wales covering 100,000 bed spaces.

Membership - Jan Colgan
Jan has been the Manager of Wirral’s Landlord Accreditation since it was initially set up in December 2003.

Her previous employment history includes Team Manager within Wirral Social Services, and was instrumental in setting up Wirral’s Central Advice and Duty Team, the single point of access for advice and information to the Social Services Department via telephone.

Jan also spent two years on secondment with Wirral Health Authority facilitating the work of the HR Modernisation Team and two years as Supporting People Lead Officer at Ellesmere Port and Neston Borough Council.

In her current role, Jan is responsible for developing Wirral’s Landlord Accreditation Scheme and established the Managing Agent Accreditation Scheme in 2004. This Scheme has proved extremely popular and has attracted many local Agents which has dramatically increased the number of Landlords and properties applying for accreditation.

Jan is also an active member of A-LIST and was responsible for developing the A-LIST Good Landlord Guide. She was also instrumental in setting up the Merseyside Accreditation Network, a sub-regional group for Accreditation Teams in the Merseyside area.

Information - Anne Rowland
Anne Rowland is an Environmental Health Officer, who since graduating three year’s ago has been working for Private Sector Housing at Cardiff Council.  Although initially employed to do enforcement work, Anne took the role of Accreditation Officer over within 6 months of starting, and has been focusing on this area of work since then.  After working on the Council’s property based accreditation scheme, and attending ANUK steering group meetings, Anne realised that Landlord Accreditation would also benefit landlords in her area.  After looking into the feasibility of such a scheme, and speaking with fellow colleagues from across Wales, it became apparent that support for a Wales wide scheme was strong.  Anne therefore became co-ordinating officer for the scheme, and worked to secure capital funding from the Welsh Assembly Government to set up the scheme, and is currently procuring training and devising a website for use for landlords across Wales.

National Codes of Practice - Neil Marsden
I am seeking the support of ANUK members for my nomination to the ANUK executive committee as Vice Chair with responsibility for representing ANUK on the Committee of Management of the ANUK/UNIPOL Code of Standards for Larger Student developments.

By way of background, for ten years I had responsibility for the development and operation of Leeds City Council’s landlord accreditation scheme, which provided me with considerable practical experience in all matters relating to accreditation.

I was the joint founder member of ANUK in 2002 and was its first chairman for three years. Since that time I have been a member of the previous ANUK steering group undertaking a number of roles including those of editor of the ANUK journal and compiler of the ANUK landlord model code of standards.

I have been Chairman of the Management of Committee for the ANUK/UNIPOL Code of Standards for Larger Student Developments since the creation of the Code three years ago. I am also on the Audit Panel for the national code.

I am able to bring experience and dedication to the work of ANUK and accordingly hope that you will be able to support my nomination to the ANUK executive committee.
