In a special feature compiled by 24 Housing Magazine, NHIC president, 
The Rt Hon Nick Raynsford MP is listed as one of the most influential people impacting on the UK housing arena.
Called the ‘Power Players’ list it was compiled after polling more than 200 of the country’s most senior housing executives, politicians, commentators, academics, lawyers and ‘other ,movers and shakers’ as well as front line managers.
They were asked to rank – from one to five – the people considered to be the most influential in the sector.
Raynsford has a long, consistent and successful association with housing in the UK. Amongst other things, he is president of the Labour Housing Group, a director of the Town and Country Planning Association and Hometrack. Before he was elected to Parliament he was director of Shelter and ran a housing consultancy.
David Montague, chief executive of L&Q, says: “Raynsford never stopped pushing for more affordable housing and promoting the work of housing associations.”
