Welcoming Our New Chair of the Board, Richard Pettifer.

Richard Pettifer, who joined the Board in 2022, has now taken over as chair.  Richard has extensive experience in social housing in leadership and customer facing roles, and currently works for Clarion Housing as their Director of Customer Experience.
