Loretto Housing and Cube, both part of Wheatley Group, have appointed Laura Henderson as their new Managing Director.
Ms Henderson has 17 years’ experience in the housing sector and joined GHA five years ago as Locality Housing Director for Parkview, Darnley and Kennishead. Previously, she worked at North Ayrshire Council where she was an area housing manager.
Ms Henderson has a professional Diploma in Housing from the De Montfort University and a Chartered Institute of Housing Level 4 in Housing.
Among her achievements at GHA, she led on the successful delivery of the 415 Innovation Hub project at Nitshill which created a new high-rise living model for older people to live independently.
Her new post will see her lead the Housing Teams at both Cube, which has more than 3,500 homes and Loretto Housing, which has 1,300 homes across the central belt. Her role will include overseeing the organisations’ new-build and investment programmes, supporting staff to deliver outstanding services in their communities, including through the use of technology, and helping customers through the challenges of Universal Credit.
Laura Henderson said: “I’m looking forward to working with the teams at Cube and Loretto and supporting them as they continue improving homes and environments and helping customers get more out of their lives.”
Peter Kelly, Cube Chair, said: “Laura was a standout candidate for the role, and we look forward to working with her in the years ahead as we continue to invest in homes, communities and services.”
Loretto Housing Chair Douglas Robin said: “I have no doubt given Laura’s experience and track record in housing that she will be a great asset to Loretto as we embark on our new five-year strategy early next year.”
