We have appointed Amanda Newton as our new permanent Chief Executive.
Amanda will take up her new role in the autumn and will lead us as we continue to deliver our recovery and improvement plan. She joins from Livv Housing Group, where she is currently Executive Director for Customer Insight.
Having the opportunity to lead an organisation like RBH, that is anchored in its communities and has a real ambition to do great things for its tenants, is an honour and a privilege. I’m looking forward to moving forward the recovery plan - working alongside the Board, the Representative Body and brilliant colleagues to rebuild an organisation that focuses on its tenants, the quality of its homes, and the value that it brings to the wider community. There are exciting times ahead and we’ll approach this together with an unwavering commitment to do the very best for the people of Rochdale who live in our homes today and in the future.
I’m absolutely delighted to welcome Amanda to RBH. I am looking forward to working together to drive forward our recovery plan at pace and embed our new governance arrangements. Amanda brings a wealth of experience from across the public, private, and social housing sectors. Her experience in implementing large scale transformation programmes, aligned to an unrelenting customer focus, will be a formidable asset to RBH as we reshape our services around our tenants and the quality of our homes. Amanda is joining us at a challenging and exciting time for RBH and the Board extends a warm Rochdale welcome!
