Nicola Paul
Board Member

Why did you decide to join the Board?

I was born in Portsmouth and my family lived in Petersfield, so while I’m now based in Berkshire, I still very much consider myself a Hampshire girl. When I came across the opportunity to get involved in the community through PHA Homes, I knew I wanted to apply. Housing associations play such a vital role in people’s lives, and I’m delighted to contribute in a small way.

What do you bring to the role of Board Member?

My professional work focuses on helping organisations shape their culture and make ethical decisions. I’ve also had the opportunity to work with two larger housing associations, which gave me a solid understanding of day-to-day operations. I hope to bring together this experience—alongside my commitment to being a good listener and a long-term thinker—to make a meaningful contribution to the board.

Tell us an interesting fact about yourself!

Outside of work, I’m a big sports fan; Formula 1 and golf (which I play), but most importantly for our community, I’m a proud Pompey supporter.
