NLA vice-chairman to step down

The National Landlords Association (NLA) today announced that its vice-chairman John Socha will step down as a director later this month.

Mr Socha joined the Small Landlords Association (SLA) in 1996 and was chairman when the organisation became the NLA to create a UK-wide platform.

After two terms as a non-executive director, Mr Socha now plans to focus his concentration on his own business interests in the Northampton area.

He will also assume the role of regional representative for Northamptonshire when he steps down at the organisation's annual general meeting on November 20th.

Speaking after his final board meeting, Mr Socha said: "I am very proud of what the SLA and NLA have achieved and I will be watching with keen interest to see the NLA continuing to grow and to help raise standards across the sector."

NLA Chairman David Salusbury said: "John's contribution to the landlord community and the wider private-rented sector should not be underestimated.

"Were it not for his vision and leadership, it is doubtful whether landlords would have the same high level of representation they have come to expect today."
