VIVID appoints David Ball to Executive Board

We're pleased to announce the appointment of David Ball to our Executive Board as Interim Chief Financial Officer, following the resignation of Duncan Brown.

David has been with VIVID for over 12 years, most recently as Director of Finance. A Chartered Management Accountant with over 20 years’ experience at senior level, David brings a strong blend of financial leadership and strategic insight to the Executive team. 

With more than 15 years’ experience in the housing sector, David has played a key role in shaping VIVID’s financial strategy and supporting its vision to deliver more homes and bright futures. Prior to joining VIVID, he held senior roles in the regulated utility sector, including at British Gas and National Grid. 

Mark Perry, Chief Executive of VIVID, said: “David’s appointment to the Executive Board reflects his outstanding contribution to VIVID over the years. His deep understanding of both the housing and utilities sectors, combined with his commercial acumen, will be invaluable as we continue to grow and respond to the challenges facing the sector. I’d also like to thank Duncan for his contribution to the organisation over the last 8 years.” 

David’s appointment strengthens VIVID’s leadership team as the organisation continues to invest in building more affordable homes and delivering high-quality services to its customers.
