Resonance strengthens leadership team

Manchester-based social impact investor Resonance has appointed Candice Hampson and Erika Rushton MBE to its board, alongside Danyal Sattar OBE as managing director of Impact Labs.

Candice brings more than 15 years’ experience in impact investment and social enterprise, while Erika adds expertise across housing, property and social investment.

Candice said: “Joining the Resonance board is a privilege I have been looking forward to greatly.

“The organisation’s mission aligns closely with my own commitment to tackling inequality, and I have been hugely impressed by the quality and dedication of the team. I cannot wait to get started.”

Erika added: “The housing market has become a key part of the UK economy with many benefitting from ever increasing values and rental incomes supplementing incomes, pensions and company profits.

“But the consequence of the market success for some means others are increasingly excluded from any access to a home they can afford and rely on. 

“And without that everything else – health, education, employment and safety – fails.

“In taking up a role on the Resonance board, I am honoured to be contributing to an organisation that has set out to change that at scale.”

Danyal joins from Big Issue Invest, where he served as chief executive, bringing extensive experience across the social investment sector.

Danyal, who was given an OBE in 2024 for services to social investment and business, added: “I’m delighted to join Resonance and continue my work in the impact investing sector. 

“Throughout my career, I’ve seen the power of blending capital with purpose to address some of society’s most pressing challenges.

“Resonance has a strong track record of doing exactly that, and I’m excited to help grow its impact further.”

The trio of appointments strengthen Resonance’s leadership as it continues to expand its impact investing activities and support social enterprises across the UK.

Resonance’s chief executive Daniel Brewer added: “We are thrilled to welcome Erika, Candice and Danyal to our team. 

“Their appointments significantly strengthen our leadership as we continue to grow and I’m excited about the depth of expertise they bring.”
