At Distinctive People we are proud to announce the launch of our Top 20 Distinctive People initiative led by our own Professor Paddy Gray OBE to recognise contribution in the social housing sector – and raise money for charity. The key thing that makes a person distinctive is their ability and willingness to stand out from the crowd. We think that there are a number of distinctive people in UK Housing and are looking for your nominations to highlight those who have contributed in a distinctive way to making a difference in the sector over the last 12 months. Voting is open from 1st July to 24th August 2020. Results will be publicised on 1st September announcing the Top 3 people with the most votes, and we will make a contribution to a charity of their choice.
Thanks for your time and interest and remember the words of Benjamin E.Mays ‘ I believe everyone is born into the world to do something unique and distinctive and if he or she does not do it, it will never be done.’ Be Distinctive!
Our experience over the years has taught us that Governance is a function that is interpreted in different ways.

At Distinctive People our expanding team of consultants bring a wealth of recruitment expertise and experience from a diverse range of sectors. Our recruitment practice, which specialises in executive placements, has seen a changing trend in what clients are looking for at that first point of candidate engagement – which is usually the candidate CV.
Today we are launching a personal pro bono CV Clinic aimed at enabling executive leaders to sharpen their CV’s to project their full offer and make them Distinctive!
The service is confidential and will incorporate a 15 minute video link with one of our executive recruiters who will provide tips and ideas on how you can maximise the impact of your CV. If this would be of value, all you need to do is send us your cv to Recruitment@distinctivepeople.co.ukwith the subject heading: CV Clinic and one of our team will be in touch
