A message from Ian McDonald, Chair of SBHA Board of Management: “On behalf of the Board and the SBHA Team, I want to thank Julia for her outstanding leadership, vision and dedication to SBHA and the communities we serve. She has guided SBHA a period of growth and transformation, strengthening our culture and always keeping tenants and communities at the heart of everything we do. Under her leadership SBHA has grown from strength to strength, with a sharper customer focus, significantly increased investment in existing and new homes, alongside deeper partnerships across the Scottish Borders. Julia leaves us with a clear 2025-30 “Creating Growth” Strategy and a strong Executive Team, ensuring continuity and momentum as we begin the process of recruiting our next Chief Executive.”

Together with our Board, colleagues, tenants and partners, we have built a resilient, forward-looking organisation with a clear strategic direction. SBHA is in a strong position, with a talented Executive Team and a robust plan for the future. I am confident that the Association will continue to thrive and deliver for our communities as it enters its next chapter.”
Julia will continue to lead the organisation and deliver on its strategic objectives throughout the transition period. The Board will begin the recruitment process to appoint the next Chief Executive.
