Radius Housing’s Director of Development, Anita Conway, has been shortlisted for two prestigious awards for her achievements for the housing association and the wider property industry. Anita, who has worked in the social housing sector for over 20 years, has been nominated for IOD NI Public/Third Sector Director of the Year and the UK wide Housing Hero’s ‘Exceptional Contribution by a CIH Member’. Earlier this year she was recognised by the Northern Ireland Chartered Institute of Housing for her contribution to the housing sector.

The Institute of Director Awards focus on the individual’s achievement, the importance of the director’s role in the community, and the commitment and expertise which contributed to the success of their business and to the Northern Ireland economy in the preceding 12 months.

The Housing Heroes Awards recognise the people that make housing great from right across the UK, and Anita is the only Northern Ireland representative on the shortlist. Jointly organised by Inside Housing and the Chartered Institute of Housing, they provide the opportunity to reward the hard work of outstanding teams and individuals.

Speaking about the nominations Anita said, “I am honoured to be nominated for both these prestigious awards. I have been lucky throughout my career to work with exceptional and passionate housing and property development experts right across the sector. Their support, guidance and encouragement has provided me with so many opportunities and has helped me to where I am today.

Being part of a forward-thinking organisation with a Board and Chief Executive that have presented me with the opportunity to continually develop and grow my knowledge and skill set. Being shortlisted for these awards is a testament to the work of the whole team at Radius.”
