New development and regeneration boss for GHA
Stewart McIntosh

Glasgow Housing Association (GHA) has appointed Alex McGuire as its new Executive Director of Development and Regeneration.

 

Alex, 44, joined GHA in April 2008 as Head of Investment, with responsibility for the city-wide capital investment, revenue, repairs and maintenance programmes.

 

He became Acting Executive Director of Housing and Customer Services last year.  A father of three, Alex grew up in Armadale, West Lothian, and was educated at Napier University in Edinburgh.

 

His remit in his new role at GHA includes overseeing the delivery of around 3000 new-build houses for tenants, while continuing the massive investment programme required to modernise homes and make them warmer, safer and drier.

 

Martin Armstrong, GHA Chief Executive, said: "Alex's commitment to improving homes and communities, as well as driving continuous service improvement, make him the ideal candidate to help lead GHA as we step up our efforts to become a first-class landlord."

 

Alex said: "I'm thrilled to be given this great opportunity to help GHA play a major role in the regeneration of Glasgow. I look forward to working with staff, tenants and our partners to create homes and communities the people of Glasgow are proud to live in."
