He will be responsible for executing an ambitious growth strategy in the social housing sector, working with existing and new customers to deliver their data management strategies.

As client solutions consultant, Jonathan will support housing providers to understand their data landscape and capability, collaborate in the design of data management solutions and deliver the housing data management platform to their organisation.
Illumar chief executive Steve Malone said: “Recruiting Peter and Jonathan is an important step for Illumar. We have an ambitious product development road map for 2021, including the launch of an automated annual Statistical Data Return, a KPI automated reporting suite, a compliance dashboard and a data maturity and health check service.
