Loreburn Housing Association (HA) has appointed two new senior members to its management team.
The organisation has selected Alison Anderson as its new Director of Finance and Corporate Services, while Amanda Yellowley has been chosen as Director of Operations.
As a Chartered Accountant with over 20 years' experience, Ms Anderson has specialised in restructuring, recovery and insolvency and managed numerous government and local authority contracts.
Ms Yellowley has almost 30 years' experience in the social housing sector, having worked previously for DGHP, Dumfries & Galloway Council and Carlisle City Council.
Elsewhere, the Association has been shortlisted for three industry awards; Housing Team of the Year, the Excellence in Development for Rented Properties Award (for Hallam House) and The Robina Goodlad Excellence Award for Women Achievers in Housing (for Chief Executive Lorraine Usher).
Lorraine Usher, Chief Executive at Loreburn HA, said the awards nomination is welcome news after coming out of a two-year regulatory intervention by the Scottish Housing Regulator.
"The changes that have been brought in since 2015, such as a new staff structure, an increased focus on the customer, the introduction of new values and modernised ways of doing business, are really starting to bear fruit," she said.
"Alison and Amanda are excellent additions to the team here at Loreburn Housing Association. We are an ambitious organisation which is keen to embrace more effective and efficient ways of doing."
