Eildon Executive Team

I joined Eildon as Chief Executive in April 2010 having previously undertaken a number of senior roles in the Scottish Government.

In my role as Chief Executive at Eildon Housing Association I currently lead a staff team of 130 people working across a range of housing, care and support services. I am responsible for the day to day operation of the business and report to a Board of Management who oversee the strategic direction of the Association. I have recently completed six years on the Board of the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations, serving five of these as Vice Chairman.

I have a BA(Hons) in Economics, a MPhil in Urban Policy. I am a Chartered member of the Chartered Institute of Housing.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, travelling and trying to improve my golf.

I joined Eildon Housing Association in 2003 and have worked in the Scottish Social Housing sector since 1981.

I am the Director of Finance & Corporate Services and as the title suggests I am responsible for the Finance, IT and Corporate Services functions in the Eildon Group. I am a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants.

In my spare time my main interest is rugby and I am either the treasurer or auditor for a number of local charitable organisations.

I joined Eildon Housing Association in August 2013 having previously worked as Regeneration Manager at the Glasgow Housing Association.

I am the Director of Property Assets and have responsibility for our new house building, the maintenance of our existing properties including the programmes which undertake major component replacement, compliance and factoring.

I have a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Economic History and Post Graduate Diplomas in Housing and Management.

In my spare time I listen to music, cycle and practice (badly) Bikram yoga.

I joined Eildon Housing Association in August 2015 as the Director of Housing & Care.

I have worked within social housing since 1988 and have held various positions across a range of housing providers at officer and senior management level. I am also a member of Barony Housing Association’s Board of Management and have held this position since 2010.

I am a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Housing, have the Diploma in Housing Studies (1988), and Certificate in Management Studies (2008).

In my spare time, I love catching up with friends and family who are now spread far and wide, walking and appreciating the Scottish Borders, and new holiday adventures (ideally with a bit of sun)!
