Imtiaz Farookhi NHBC's Chief Executive welcomed the announcement saying: "NHBC is pleased the private sector has been recognised for the role it can play in supporting the government's plans for affordable housing.
The private sector is able to contribute both valuable skills and financial expertise to help the government achieve its wider housing objectives".
